i have been living impatiently
yes i'd become a passionate drinker
waiting has not been my cup of tea
so I have thrown it all away
everyone looks at me skeptically
as though this were not my true demeanor
but they know not of what I am capable
therefore they have nothing to say
i run to the woods and look around
all I see is my reflection
so I howl like I am a wolf
and take my clothes off
the caribou cheer, the squirrels rejoice,
the birds and fish change direction
to catch a glimpse of all this joy
that is much deeper than just for the weekend
there are suckers who give up too easily
and many of them are my homies
they clean up their rooms and they read their books
and they always have something to say
there was a time when I ran to them
always in search of approval
now I look at them all with a broken heart
wishing their sadness away
i run to the woods and look around
all I see is my reflection
so I howl like I am a wolf
and take my clothes off
the caribou cheer, the squirrels rejoice,
the birds and fish change direction.
to catch a glimpse of all this joy
that is much deeper than just for the weekend
and soon I will sit beside myself
for the wind that fills my sails
is the same one that blew me over
when optimism fails I reach for something more
the wind that fills my sails
is the same one that blew me over
when optimism fails I reach for something more
and soon I will sit beside myself, yeah
there are boys and girls living in secrecy
pushed to the ground by their elders
forbidden to run and commanded to hide
and to watch every word that they say
i was the same until recently
when I discovered the illusion
and we're only as free as we let ourselves be
and its time we shut up and play
i run to the woods and look around
all I see is my reflection
so I howl like I am a wolf
and take my clothes off
the caribou cheer, the squirrels rejoice,
the birds and fish change direction
to catch a glimpse of all this joy
that is much deeper than just for the weekend
deeper than just for the weekend...
