Lyrics
When I was young in heart and mind
Questioning intentions left and right
Didn't think you had the time
To see me for myself
Caught up in something else
You always said I did you wrong
But who was really stringing who along
I regret that family guilt
Instilled in me and acting up full tilt
Rainy days again
Paper thin breaking down in my hands
When I'm on the stand
Will I still be an optimistic man
Fighting fires with gasoline
Lay my burned out body in the stream
Let it rush all over me
Wash me of convictions till I'm clean
Why am I this weak
Not under duress but scared to speak
And sure I'm better off
But it's hard to dig up all my youthful thoughts
Rainy days again
Paper thin breaking down in my hands
When I'm on the stand
Will I still be an optimistic man
