Favorite Flicks

If I can't find something else to do besides
watching Scrubs all day
I'm not sure that I would mind in fact
I might even prefer it that way
I can't see the future
but I'm getting better
Not a day goes by where I feel I'm going backwards
Whenever I look back I'm even more reassured
that I'm heading toward a place where I can be me
The past is a different story
If I can't find something else to watch besides
my couple favorite flicks
I'm not sure I'd even care I bet
that I'd just pop in School of Rock
I know what makes me happy
and nothing else interests me
Not a day goes by where I feel I'm going backwards
Whenever I look back I'm even more reassured
that I'm heading toward a place where I can be me
The past is a different story
There's more to be found
but I've got time
I couldn't find something else to be besides
the person that I am
I'm not sure if that sounds corny but
what else is a pop song for?

Shrek yeah I just remembered I have Red Bull
Shrek yeah I think I'll open that shit up
Shrek yeah I think I'll watch Fast Times at Ridgemont
I haven't seen it but I've heard only good things
Shrek yeah I still have my old fifth grade yearbook
Shrek yeah I had some interesting friends
Shrek yeah there are a few that I still talk to
but most of us have gone our separate ways
We all have our own lives, it's alright
and I've made some great friends in all that time
Sometimes I wonder if nostalgia isn't real
if it's all a load of shit designed to make us feel alone
but I don't think so
We're making progress
and we're keeping it real
shoutout to everyone who makes us feel less alone
Shrek yeah I wish that I could meet Dewey Finn
Shrek yeah why can't I live inside that film
Shrek yeah I could rock out with Zack and Lawrence
and tell No Vacancy they've got bad taste
Shrek yeah I don't think most people are evil
Shrek yeah for the most part they're pretty good
Shrek yeah I try to stay positive these days
but sometimes that just seems like a lost cause
If I can find something to make me smile
then I think I've done well for myself
Sometimes it's easy to get down about yourself
to become your own worst critic and forget to laugh it off
We all need a break
We're making progress
and we're keeping it real
Shoutout to everyone who makes us feel less alone
Shrek yeah I just don't care about being cool
Shrek yeah there are much more important things
Shrek yeah why can't we all just stop pretending
like anything deserves more than a shrug
Shrek yeah tonight I'm gonna take it easy
It's something I've forgotten how to do
There's nothing wrong with being unproductive
Maybe I'll finally notice the view

All I know is what I've experienced so far
I'm not sure if it's exciting or not
but I know that I've learned something
I'm not waiting for something real big to happen
After all there's no predicting that far in time
My guess is we'll be fine
I've forgotten how to wonder what's next
I keep thinking that I've somehow reached the end
I've forgotten that I've barely lived my life
It's my lack of patience that's to blame
I can't wait
All I've got is this big stack of VHS tapes
I kinda feel like watching Can't Hardly Wait
just for that part with Jason Segel
He plays a stoner who thinks Velma's underrated
Velma from the hit show Scooby Doo I think
it was before he was famous
back in '96
I've forgotten how to wonder what's next
I keep thinking that I've somehow reached the end
I've forgotten that I've barely lived my life
It's my lack of patience that's to blame
I can't wait
It's never too late
to make a big change in your life
There's always something we can do
but it's hard to
There's no predicting that far in time
I hope we'll all be fine in 2026
I've forgotten how to wonder what's next
I keep thinking that I've somehow reached the end
I've forgotten that I've barely lived my life
It's my lack of patience that's to blame
I can't wait

Matilda Wormwood

Today I watched Matilda on the same VHS
I used to watch when I was a kid
In some ways it took me back but it also brought to light
the distance I am from those days
When you get older you develop certain skills
like getting through an entire film
instead of watching the same 30 minutes
every single day of your lives
Tomorrow I just might watch Edward Scissorhands
I might find something to relate with
It's strange how much you miss out on as a kid
like fake attachments to fictional lives
There's nothing here but fiction
Stories I can't call my own
Maybe someday I will have a story
that's mine
When I was younger all I wanted was to grow
Some things don't ever change and it shows
They say that growing ain't all it's cracked up to be
I have to admit I disagree

I've got to admit I'm pretty good at not growing up
I never know what to expect and I'm not sure I know where to start
I try too hard then I get overwhelmed
That's why I gave up in school
but I didn't give up in life
and I've got plenty of time to worry
Obsessing over shows is what I've come to know
I'm waiting for things to change
though I admit things aren't all that bad
and maybe I should embrace that
I've never been good at making plans as everyone else
I don't really get out all that much but some nights I prefer that
I seem to get lost in front of TVs
that's why I've seen every damn thing I can
find to stream online
It's how I choose to spend my time
I'm alright
Obsessing over shows is what I've come to know
I'm waiting for things to change
though I admit things aren't all that bad
and maybe I should embrace that
I'm finding it harder to believe in myself or anyone
Obsessing over shows is what I've come to know
I'm waiting for things to change
though I admit things are not that bad
and maybe I should embrace that
I'm starting to realize I'm not alone
I find comfort in that

Watching Shows, Pt. 2
05:19
|

|
Since I finished both TV shows I was using to put things off
I guess you could say I've made some progress but who's to judge
It's hard to say whether I'm succeeding
when everything I want is changing
The things I'm looking for at the moment
may not be what I want for good
We all get what we want
and then we want something else
We all feel close to the finish line
but we never are
And that's why I just need to relax
and maybe even manage a laugh
We all get something out of waiting
whether we know it or not
I'm living life without a worry
cause I'm not in such a hurry
I've realized there's no point in making plans
We're powerless over chance
I'm not one to let things go
but at some point we have to
I'm not gonna sit and wait
for something to make me change
