Wiser
Another year, another special day
Some time to celebrate my stay
In life and in the endless cosmos
So cut the cake and bring some more sauce
I've been waiting in anticipation all year long
For getting happy birthday-ed and sing-sang-sung on
But what I'm waiting for the most
Is not a tiny bit close
As I'm still paddling on, to reach the dawn
When will I know
That I got wiser?
When will I be
My own advisor?
Cause with the current state of things
I think my future might be jinxed
I'm neither wise nor grand
But this feels nicer
Old people say you will get tired of it anyway
But I'm still having so much fun with what I do all day
That I feel like being wise
Might come at terrible a price
Like giving up my cherished naïveté
Sometimes I feel like tryin' to reach this arbitrary goal
Living a healthy normal boring life and growing old
But the fireworks show
Is so much prettier when you know
That the time of ending's out of your control
And while I like to tell myself that I am doing pretty well
I still rely on what the people I respect will tell
Me when I did a decent job
With my heart ready to pop
When I know deep inside that I should rebel
When will I know
That I got wiser?
When will I be
My own advisor?
Cause with the current state of things
I think my future might be jinxed
I'm neither wise nor grand
But this feels nicer
Another year, another special day
It's over now and still I pray
That eventually I'll know
What makes me thrive and makes me grow
That is the kind of wisdom that I wish did stay
Some time to celebrate my stay
In life and in the endless cosmos
So cut the cake and bring some more sauce
I've been waiting in anticipation all year long
For getting happy birthday-ed and sing-sang-sung on
But what I'm waiting for the most
Is not a tiny bit close
As I'm still paddling on, to reach the dawn
When will I know
That I got wiser?
When will I be
My own advisor?
Cause with the current state of things
I think my future might be jinxed
I'm neither wise nor grand
But this feels nicer
Old people say you will get tired of it anyway
But I'm still having so much fun with what I do all day
That I feel like being wise
Might come at terrible a price
Like giving up my cherished naïveté
Sometimes I feel like tryin' to reach this arbitrary goal
Living a healthy normal boring life and growing old
But the fireworks show
Is so much prettier when you know
That the time of ending's out of your control
And while I like to tell myself that I am doing pretty well
I still rely on what the people I respect will tell
Me when I did a decent job
With my heart ready to pop
When I know deep inside that I should rebel
When will I know
That I got wiser?
When will I be
My own advisor?
Cause with the current state of things
I think my future might be jinxed
I'm neither wise nor grand
But this feels nicer
Another year, another special day
It's over now and still I pray
That eventually I'll know
What makes me thrive and makes me grow
That is the kind of wisdom that I wish did stay
