The Update Lyrics by Martin Kerr

2017

Computer wants to update a program
I always click on "try again tomorrow"
'Cause that's not what I need
The garden wants a weeding
The summer's almost over
I haven't gotten around to planting the seeds
What have I been waiting for all this time?
What am I complaining for, the fault's all mine
I could cross that bridge if someone else would pay the toll
But won't somebody send an update for my soul?
My phone it wants to update the system
But I don't really trust it
It usually ends up slower than before
The politicians never stop campaigning
One day we're gonna bust 'em
We're capable of so much more
What have I been waiting for all this time?
What am I complaining for, the fault's all mine
I'm sitting here just waiting for my youth to come again
I'll stop procrastinating, but don't ask me when
I could cross that bridge, if someone else would pay the toll
But won't someone send an update to my soul?
I want to feel you love me more than ever
I know I don't deserve it
I'm not the man I was back then
Skinnier and brighter and more hopeful
Is that the way you want me?
I'm not sure if I can be that again
What have I been waiting for all this time?
What am I complaining for, the fault's all mine
I'm sitting here just waiting for my youth to come again
I'll stop procrastinating, but don't ask me when
I could cross that bridge if someone else would pay the toll
But won't somebody send an update to my soul?
Should you ever lose your sense of wonder
Walk out to the ocean
And sing out to the stars on high
And all the generations gone before you
Will hear you from the heavens
They'd help you if you'd only try
What have we been waiting for all these hours?
What are we complaining for, the remedy's ours
We're sitting here just waiting for our youth to come again
We'll stop procrastinating, we can choose just when
We can cross that bridge, and only we can pay the toll
And only I can make an update to my soul
Only I can make an update to my soul
