Plant My Feet

My brother, he moved out
He left his hometown
He's living on the coast now

My mother, she painted all the walls in our old house
She's changed all the furniture out
They're checking out the market value

Isn't it strange how
Life can feel so slow and so fast
At the same damn time

I get a little lost sometimes
I don't know where I ought to be
I get a little low, you know what it's like
I don't know where to plant my feet
Isn't it strange
So much is changing
We're getting older
But so much stays the same

I guess I'm getting older now
Don't know what that means for me

My dad, his heart, it stopped
Just the other week
Just has to stop

Lighting up his breath with nicotine
Cut back on the coffee and sugar and cream
Work on his stress, let go of the past
My mother says he's a lot like me

I get a little lost sometimes
I don't know where I ought to be
I get a little low, you know what it's like
I don't know where to plant my feet
Isn't it strange
So much is changing
We're getting older
But so much stays the same

So I take my mother's advice
One step, one step at a time
You'll be all right
Just think of all the things you said you couldn't do
That you did just fine

I don't know what it means
What it means for me
I don't know what it means
What it means for me
I don't know what it means
What it means for me
I don't know what it means
What it means for me

I get a little lost sometimes
I don't know where I ought to be
I get a little low, you know what it's like
I don't know where to plant my feet
Isn't it strange
So much is changing
We're getting older
But so much stays the same

So much stays the same
So much stays the same
