Listening to Madonna
I was doing fine in '89
Had my walkman strapped on by my side
With my headphones on, singing along
Thinking about what's coming
While the kids were drinking and sneaking around
I was tripping on a daydream, writing things down
Waking up to life, flying in my mind
I could feel it coming
Oh ohh oh ohh oh ohhhh
Weekends watching MTV
Taping Casey's top 40
Playing DJ, making up dances
for my sister and her friends
and my dad wished I could be like the other boys
but I was never gonna
no I was doing fine in '89, hanging out with the girls,
Listening to Madonna
I'll take you there
Flash to 10 years down the line
Welcome to 1999
Fresh out of school, I dove in a pool
of the city waters
and I fell in love for the very first time
Goodbye hiding, goodbye lies
First love, first song I would write
the first of many others
Oh ohh oh ohh oh ohhhh
Union square, 14th street
was the birth of my first band
and in an off off broadway show that year
is where I would meet my best friend
and my brother was set to wed a beautiful girl
but I was never gonna
no I was doing fine in '99
hanging out in the clubs,
Listening to Madonna
Like a ray of light,
Just like a ray of light,
Then just like a ray of light. . .
The years flew by
I closed my eyes it was 2009
You start to question your life
Where your choices made right?
And do dreams come true?
And does it matter if they do?
Cause ain't a trip to your soul
a trip that is worth taking after all. .
I think I was doing fine in O-1-9
yea I settled down for the very first time
I found me a love sent from above
This might be the one
but there ain't no getting off this ride
If you see me in 2-O-29
My face might have a few more lines
but I'll still be writing songs
Oh ohh oh ohh oh ohhh
Weekends watching MTV,

and they all wished I could be like the other boys
