Figure It Out

I'm in the right place

At the wrong time

I thought I'd figured it out

I dreamt that I was Marty McFly

And it was 1985

And I had gone back in time

Wake up and it's 2009

And all my friends like fucking Sublime

I'm just a guy who never knows what's up

Drinking malt liquor out of a red Dixie cup

Yeah I'm just a guy drinking way too much

To distract me from how badly I have fucked my life up

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

All I wanted was to be a success

I never did the things I said I would do

I thought I'd figured it out

When I was just a kid back in school

And if my younger self

Could see me in my present state

He'd take one look at all the weight that I gained

And punch me in my stupid face

I'm just a guy who rarely ever gets out

If it weren't for work I doubt that I would ever leave the house

The province took my license and impounded my car

On a charge from the Saanich police department

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I used to dream about being famous when I was a kid

But I always unremarkable so I kept it hid

Thought one day when I'm older and wiser I would show them

Now I'm 29 years old and I don't know shit

When I was a teenager I thought I was so smart

Thought one day I would be successful or at least own a car

Then the housing market crashed the year that I graduated

Now my friends are all cooks and I make minimum wage

I'm just a guy who's got too much stuff

I'm so lazy I still got my fucking Christmas lights up

I used to think pretty highly of myself

Turns out I'm just a fuckin idiot like everybody else

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

I thought I'd figured it out

By now
