Waking Up Lyrics by Hillsburn

Slipping Away

2020

I spent the summers of my youth lost
Pal of Scout and Anne and Alice
Reading, dreaming
Of who I would like to be
There in my adolescent repose
I'd circumnavigate the cosmos --
Earhart, Picard
But these days I just can't find myself
In the person I used to know
Maybe I'm waking up
I wasn't born to be wild
I wasn't born to be wild
Learn as I get a little older
Not much adventure for the worked-out
Week out, week in
Starving my dreams to death
While all the screens push amusements
I can't afford to see the dentist
And I've been grinding
These days I just can't find myself
In the person I used to know
Maybe I'm waking up
I wasn't born to be wild
I wasn't born to be wild
I wasn't born to be wild
I wasn't born to be
I wasn't born to be
I wasn't born to be
Me and Mary go to work, we come home
Me and Mary get by
Me and Mary, we don't long for nothing
We don't mind, we don't mind
Me and Mary go to work, we come home
Me and Mary get high
Me and Mary modify horizons
We don't mind, we don't mind
I spent the summers of my youth lost
Pal of Scout and Anne and Alice
Reading, dreaming
But these days I just can't find myself
In the person I used to know
Maybe I’m waking up
I wasn't born to be wild
I wasn't born to be wild
I wasn't born to be wild
I wasn't born to be wild
