What's Happening to Me?

The place I used to know
About 15 years ago
Everything looks so tiny
Everything looks so small
And everyone around me
Oh how they look so old
Why does it make me feel so low?
Saw my best friend today
Way back from ‘98
He’s got a wife and kid now
Well hey now, ain’t that great?
The old gang’s all grown up
And they’ve all moved away
Why couldn’t it just stay the same?
My mind is filled with questions
That no-one dares explain
Everything just looks so different
It all just up and changed
I really need to ask myself
What’s happening to me?
What’s happening to me?
What’s happening to me?
What’s happening to me?
What’s happening to me?
The park on Henry Street
Now a 3-star place to eat
They’ve dug the whole thing up
The new houses look so neat
The trees are now all lampposts
The grass is now concrete
My whole world’s become obsolete
I was young, it was so much better then,
There was so much to do
We could run around and climb the trees all day
But it’s all gone away
When the hell did I become so old?

Life's a Drag

Sit back and talk about our lives
There’s no need to be afraid
Let’s see the pain behind our smiles
That we don’t want to explain
Life’s a drag, I know it feels that way for all of us
(Yeah, yeah, yeah…)
Don’t let it keep you down
(Yeah, yeah, yeah…)
Keep your head up ‘cause they tell us it will all be better soon
(Yeah, yeah, yeah…)
But we know it never does
(Yeah, yeah, yeah…)
So board the windows and lock the doors
We’ll find a better home
Get all your friends and keep them around
So we don’t feel so alone
(Carry us out again)
This time will be different
(Stay with us ‘til the end)
But that’s not what you meant
(Will you be ready then?)
We’ll never comprehend
(Remember to tell us when)
It keeps happening again
Why can’t we see between the lines?
No-one knows what to say
Just try to find the joy in life
Before we fade away

Let Me Be Happy
03:22

I’m sick of waking up
Feeling like we’re gonna fade away
I don’t know if I can
Deal with your truth for another day
Just don’t let me know
About the dues that I’ll have to pay
Just let me pretend
That tomorrow is gonna be okay
Lie to me, Lie to my face
Don’t tell me ‘bout the weight of the world
Tell me everything is gonna be alright
Don’t tell me the truth
I don’t want to hear it
Ignorance is bliss, so let me be happy
Don’t want to wear a watch
Don’t want to see time pass me by
I watched the news today
All I heard about is how I’ll die
I can’t hide from it all
But today I know I’ll still try
I get older every day
It’s just another thing that I’ll deny~

I Wanna Be Cool

I wanna be cool
I wanna be cool
I wanna be cool
I wanna be cool~
I wanna stand up against the wall
With slicked black hair and a voice that tells you
I’m the man
I’ll be the one in the back of the crowd
Never smiling, never looking like I
Give a damn
I’m always calm, no matter what I do
No time to stop a second just to think it through
Never gonna listen to just what you say
Not like what you tell me is important anyway
(That’s just who I wanna be)
Its summertime everywhere I go
My trail of partying always lets you know
Just where I’ve been
Leather jacket and faded jeans
A sharp chiselled look that you know was made for
Silver screens
I’ll catch a ride straight into the sun
Flyin’ round the earth til I know I’ve won
I’ve got to live it up before I wash ashore
Live fast die young, surely gonna leave a handsome corpse

Shark Drive recommends:
Is this the best album of all time? We asked a magic 8-ball, and it seemed to think so. Seriously though, this album is incredible: catchy hooks, sharp lyrics and amazing synth-rock instrumentation!

Best album of 2017, hands down. With blistering performances, top-notch indie rock/pop-punk production and lyrics that are emotive and introspective without being sappy, this album rules the school!
