about

Day 13 of fun-a-day 2015.
Inspired by "Protagonist" by They Might Be Giants

lyrics

I was in the backseat as we
Crossed the Ohio
Legs cramped by the backpacks pilin'
Up on the bumpy road

Tired of the books I brought
I read them all before
Searching for salvation through
The clutter on the floor

Oh my lord
I found my reward

I was in the basement thinkin'
How my life had changed
Once you've got it figured all out
You're on to a new stage

New people who surround you
New confusion and new pain
You know that you can take it
While they take everything away

Take my name
But I'll fight to stay the same

I was in the backseat chucklin'
At an inside joke
Stretchin' out my legs and
Calling my brother on the phone

How many trips just like this
Have been taken on this road?
How many times have I been
In the backseat all alone?
And where is time agoin'
While we're carrying its load?
Can we just keep on going
Till we're old and overgrown?

Well I know
I'm on my home
