When I Rock, I Rock
"When I rock I rock, and when I dance I dance, and when I talk I talk
I never miss a chance, 'cause life is too short"
That's what I used to say
I don't think I ever lived that way
I'm sorry I lied to you
I never knew that I could live any better way so you must forgive me 'cause I used to say
"When I rock I rock, and when I dance I dance, and when I talk I talk
I never miss a chance, but now it is too late"
See, the thing is, I was lying
I kept lamenting things I never tried and now I've wasted so much time
I spent so many years trying to run from all the things I needed to do
It was pathetic
I never knew that I needed to get a job
And have something to do not for itself but because I needed to
I am a young smart man
I'm so capable you understand, but I don't do anything with that
I spent 23 years sitting alone in my room, wishing for the perfect thing to do
How 'bout that?
Every day I shirked my responsibility so I never worked a day in my whole life
I never went down to the volunteer homeless shelter and said "Hey, I'll work for free"
But I'm tired of living that way
I think I've given up today
I will accept my responsibility
I will no longer waste my life
You see it's not worth it to wait
Nothing will come that's perfect
So When I rock I rock
And when I dance I dance
And when I talk I talk
I'll never miss a chance 'cause now I understand
When I rock I rock
And when I dance I dance
And when I talk I talk
I'll never miss a chance again, even tho I'm just a young man
When I rock I rock
And when I dance I dance
And when I talk I talk
I'll never miss a chance, 'cause my life is too short
Not in that theoretical way, that romantic bullshit can go away
I think I understand life now
I've been paralyzed with indecision
I don't understand why the division between what I wanted
And what I knew was right because I spent my life running
From the things I heard were right and from what was true
But now I'll turn my life around and never get all down and say I wish that I were dead
I can't believe I spent so many evenings sitting in my head, waiting to die
So When I rock I rock
And when I dance I dance
And when I talk I talk
I'll never miss a chance, 'cause my life is too short
I never miss a chance, 'cause life is too short"
That's what I used to say
I don't think I ever lived that way
I'm sorry I lied to you
I never knew that I could live any better way so you must forgive me 'cause I used to say
"When I rock I rock, and when I dance I dance, and when I talk I talk
I never miss a chance, but now it is too late"
See, the thing is, I was lying
