Remember all the crazy things we did?

Not ever caring?

Not ever paying attention to all of those who looked on

with eyes of hope

and a wish to do it too

but feel they can't

they're too cool.

And others with eyes of scorn

with a wish that someday we'll actually get a life.

But we have one.

A fun one

We live the hardcore way

Making up different recipes for something that won't turn out right

Pushing kids off waffles

Making up songs about underwear at 6 in the morning

Standing on the sidewalk doing the chicken dance and screaming 

"holy cheese nuggets"

Skipping down church street

Wearing a sombrero everywhere

Rolling in the ferns

Singing at the games

Judging preppy kid during orchestra

Rescuing a caterpillar

Making out in a dugout

Taking revenge on the world

Writing books about chickens dancing in the moonlight

Writing books about nowhere

Eating

Drinking

Sleeping

the hardcore way

Defying life in general

Fighting for what's right

Protesting what's wrong

Just flowing along

Taking what comes

And not missing what doesn't

And dreaming about what does

Wishing

Dreaming

Hoping

the hardcore way

Being different

Being the weird loser who's totally popular

Nontraditional

Totally traditional

Asking questions

Living life

Sucking out all you can get

Being you

Being ...

who you want to be

decide

or don't decide

take what comes

Plan it all out

Watch the little kid get off the bus

Say hi to the scary kid on the bus

Say hi to the new kid

Be the new kid,

say hi to everyone

Try

Don't try

But you may never know

And sometimes you will

Yes

No

Maybe

Definitely

Sometimes

Never

Pretty 

Ugly

Backwards

Forwards

Yes and No

Maybe and Definitely

Sometimes and Never

Pretty and Ugly

Backwards and Forwards

This is who we are

This is what we are going to be

Separate 

Together

Always The same,

Always different.
