Inspired by envy over a happy copy who are probably married now (young and dumb), uses a Casiotone 701. Also, LVC snuck her way in there toward the last verse to break my heart too.
Originally released as part of a 7 song EP in 2008 under the name Efrain Calderon.
lyrics
I don't believe the early bird always gets the worm
I know you'll say, "Clichés don't write themselves"
But matrimony isn't so instinctual
Though I might agree fear of loneliness may be
Don't put your yet laid eggs in one basket
We all thought once we had the golden egg
But underneath the scope, gold might be plastic
It's always the goose that gets away
Don't get all crazy, sad, and lonely
If things don't go the way they ought to be.
I've been wrong about these kind of things before, dear
I'm just another fish in the big sea
And this feels like I'm talking to a brick wall
I know you'll fear clichés won't go away
Trust me, this is not my cup of tea here
But sometimes there's just things you gotta say
Don't get all crazy, sad, and lonely
If things don't go the way they ought to be.
I've been wrong about these kind of things before, dear
I'm just another fish for you to see
I'm not going to your wedding in five years
It still hurts me that you're not here.
And now we've grown so different we might be strangers
I've got memories and dreams that just won't disappear
Don't get all crazy, sad, and lonely
If things don't go the way they ought to be.
I've been wrong about these kind of things before, dear
But this time I just don't wanna be
