Assuming

Waiting, impatiently on the sideline
Riding the pine. Sending the message that I'm ok, I'm just right.
Reading, a book that I've had for over 11 years, it sat on the shelf
Observing my every move as I grew up, searching for myself

If you thought I was bad before
Feast your eyes on what's become of the monster
That used to knock front door
Ok, I'll digress a tad, I'm not that off
Just a bit perturbed, at the way things turned
Upside down, on the bottom when I used to be at the top

You wouldn't say, that you remember me
Even though we spent each day, laughing at each others jokes
When everybody else would turn away
I made an ass out of myself, assuming

Let's have a toast to not losing a limb, I know people that have
I'll never be as strong as them, let's have a toast to dry mouth
I feel desiccated, and removed from myself

Sitting, impatiently on the sideline
Riding the pine. Sending the message that I'm ok, I'm just right
Reading, a book that I've had for over 11 years, it sat on the shelf
Observing my every move as I grew up, searching for myself

You wouldn't say, that you remember me
Even though we spent each day, laughing at each others jokes
When everybody else would turn away
I made an ass out of you and me, assuming
