Living For the First Time

Music & Lyrics: J. Himmelsbach

I got a hole in my pocket
It wasn't there yesterday
No way that I could have stopped it (oh well)
I don't like these pants anyway
I get an ache when I think now
Wasn't there when I went to bed
Happens every time that I drink now (oh well)
I was never that fond of my head

I gotta lotta thoughts to know, till I start
Livin for the first time
I gotta lotta miles to go, till I can
Leave this road behind
Waitin for the day t' come, when I'll be
Livin for the first time
I gotta lotta thoughts to know, till I can
Finally clear my mind

I got a dent in my common sense
Wasn't there when I looked before
It took a toll on my confidence (oh well)
I don't use them much anymore
I got a crack in my genius
Wasn't there when I went to school
Now I think just like a machine does (oh well)
I never cared that much to be cool

I gotta lotta thoughts to know, till I start
Livin for the first time
I gotta lotta miles to go, till I can
Leave this road behind
Waitin for the day t' come, when I'll be
Livin for the first time
I gotta lotta thoughts to know, till I can
Finally clear my mind

Sittin' in another place
Swimmin' in another space and time
Slippin' further into crazy
The answers seem so hazy and the
Questions are so hard to find

I got a hole in my pocket
Shoulda known the edges were frayin'
Had my life in there, but I must have dropped it (oh well)
Guess I'll just keep on playin'

I got a stain on my virtue
Wasn't there before I grew up
Now I live my live under curfew (oh well)
Never did go out all that much
I get a pain when I see you
Wasn't there when we first met
You keep sayin' its so hard to be you (oh well)
I don't have no sympathy left
I gotta lotta thoughts to know, till I start
Livin for the first time
I gotta lotta miles to go, till I can
Leave this road behind
Waitin for the day t' come, when I'll be
Livin for the first time
I gotta lotta thoughts to know, till I can
Finally clear my mind
