Sometimes I Feel Like My Life Is Passin Me By (Reconstituted Version) Lyrics

One day I'll walk among the people

Or I'll have my brush with fame

But for now I've got excuses till they all know

The truth is that I'm just ashamed

Because I ain't the person that I thought I would be

I musta set my sights too high

And sometimes I feel like my life is passin me by

I quit my job at sanitary maintenance

And decided to make a go

At this music game takes everything you've got

If you wanna take it pro

So now I'm the one sit around all day

Starin nothin in the eye

Starin at my life passin me by

Oh Jen don't come by my doorway weak and lonely

I would only take you back again

But ain't it useless for me to love you

Ain't it useless for us to be friends

Somehow I can't help thinkin

Some part of every day we had together was just a lie

Somehow I can't help thinkin my life is passin me by

Well there's nothin that amounts to nothin

And that's exactly the way it seems

Able bodied in the first world put your hopes

Into the future and all your stupid dreams

But when distractions wear thin there's nothin

To keep you from your mind

And your mind is what happens when life is passin you by

But if there's nothin that amounts to nothin

Then what is it that could pass me by

Just a stubborn man's burden age and end up

In the dirt when it's his turn to die

But if i get old like my neighbor Mel did

I'll have to heave a regretful sigh

And say sometimes I feel like my life just passed me by
