Ok - Autumn Leaves Lyrics

Just had a talk with my best friend
He says he gonna quit
He said it's just a means to an end man
He put it all in the attic
The guitar and the microphone and all the
Other shit to his studio
He said he is sorry and that he can't deal
With all the worry of trying to get a deal well damn

Sound like little Goodwill Hunting
Got mad talent but he running from something
Or am I nuts trying to get this running
Got one life and it's all or nothing
He said it's a smart move and he can finally sleep
Am I the only one stupid enough to be chasing my dreams
I don't know
I can't get a grip but I can't let go

A broke boy with a head full of dreams
Bathroom had a hole in the floor
Another kid with a college degree
But I am so much more

A funny boy with a joke up his sleeve
Held pain behind bedroom doors
Fading faster than Autumn Leaves
But I am so much more

Summer '05 we all chilling by the pool
Brother, Dad, and I first day that we all off school
Little dude asked if he could come and play we said nah little man maybe not today
Cause it's been a while since we all been together come back tomorrow when we got better weather but

Kid didn't have a dad, his dad got shot up at this old job that he had
What we should've said is yeah man come over and hang
Come feel what it's like to have a dad for a day but no
See now, I'm too damn selfish I know mine is falling apart I can't help it
A 7 year old staring through the fence I should've shared what I had while I had the chance

Don't wanna be the next failure in my family name
Don't wanna see my lifes work all go to waste
Don't wanna be the next failure in my family name
Don't wanna be the next failure
