Lyrics

In my day I was young and crazy

In the past, I was youthful and impulsive.

Sure I didn't know shit but now I'm lazy

I may have been ignorant back then, but now I tend to be lazy.

One day I won't even know what was better

Anticipating a time when I won't be able to discern what was better in the past.

Then again, I won't know much of nothing anyway

Considering the likelihood of not knowing much in the future.


Two worlds, one on each shoulder

Feeling the weight of two conflicting worlds or perspectives.

I'm tryin' to turn

Attempting to make a change or transformation.

We're pullin' over onto the shoulder

Stopping or pausing on the side of the road.

Ain't driving

Not actively progressing, possibly reflecting on life.

I know when I get older

Acknowledging the inevitability of aging.

I'm dying

Recognizing the finite nature of life.

But I got everything I need anyway

Expressing contentment with having everything needed despite life's uncertainties.

That's fine now

Affirming the acceptance of the current state.

That's fine now

Reiterating contentment or satisfaction.

That's fine

Emphasizing a sense of well-being or acceptance.


In my time I was whack and wild

Reflecting on a past period of being unconventional and unrestrained.

I was just being myself, damn

Justifying past behavior as authentic self-expression.

But then I sat there trying on faces

Contemplating past actions and trying on different personas or identities.

Wanna erase my discreet disgraces

Desiring to eliminate personal shortcomings or faults discreetly.


Pullin' over on the shoulder

Stopping or reflecting on life's journey.

Ain't driving

Not actively pursuing a specific path or goal.

But two worlds, one on each shoulder

Experiencing conflicting perspectives or influences.

I'm trying to turn

Continuing efforts to change or evolve.

I know when we get older

Acknowledging the inevitability of aging collectively (we).

I'm dying

Recognizing the finite nature of life collectively (we).

But I got everything I need anyway

Expressing contentment with having everything needed despite uncertainties (we).

That's fine now

Affirming the acceptance of the current state collectively (we).

That's fine now

Reiterating contentment or satisfaction collectively (we).

That's fine

Emphasizing a sense of well-being or acceptance collectively (we).
