Awkward Age

Less Than Jake

Late at night


I can see so clearly


They see right through me


And I know that ten years before


I was the kid at the corner store and I still know


And at that age things are so confusing


And no matter what I tried


I still wound up losing. are things still that confusing?


And at that age, that awkward age


I knew someday that things would change


Have I been thinking too much tonight


When I think of how my life's gone by?


And at that age...


There were things that I never really knew


And I keep hearing my parents say:


"Do as I say, don't say as I do."


What could I do?
