Miami Virtue - Umphrey's McGee

When I was young, still a kid

I was unprepared, never thought before I did

And now as I look back I can’t believe it

I told lies, needed proof, I was further from the truth

So I locked myself in the corner of my room

Yeah I thought maybe my view could be better

I never knew what I did, it would all come back

I’d be forced to sift through all the misdirection

I believed in

I relied on my youth, I could make up an excuse

And collected scars, yeah, I thought that I could choose

And my way would be destined to deliver

You never have as long as you want

So don’t get caught up in the…

We never could take back time that we’re wasting

I only hope that you’ve been listening

But I doubt you could repeat a thing

Yeah I’ve been in that seat before

It’s always easy to ignore

When no one wants or needs advice

From someone they don’t think is right

And just cause I’ve been wrong before

It doesn’t mean I don’t want more for

You live in the long-term world and it’s hard to endure

(But you) Do cause you’ve already seen and

You know the routine now

(We) maybe could meet in the middle

It’s not too difficult

(To) Cause we’re both just stuck with spinning wheels

The odds aren’t any easier on either side

And just because you say it doesn’t make it right

Don’t think I ever could repay you

But it’s still my life

I hope I never have to say or go forever a day

Without…

(You) live in the long-term world and it’s hard to endure

(But ya)

(Do) cause you’ve already seen and

You know the routine now

(We) maybe could meet in the middle

It’s not too difficult

(To) Cause we can’t take back this wasted time, but

(You) never have as long as you want so don’t get caught up

(But ya)

(Do) Yeah you’ve already seen and it’s not any easier but

(We) maybe could meet in the middle

It’s not too difficult

(To) Cause we can’t take back this wasted time
