Lyrics:

Ever since I was a child You always said that I should understand the rules You take some and give less Sit high above the rest...don't you As I ask a simple question Cuts me off with his reply He's been practicing for decades Now he thinks I have the time He flows in and out of riddles Looking me straight in the eye But it seems like something's missing From the days when he was more my sizeChorus: Ten years older and I've finally found my pride This old man comes rolling home to die Old feelings make it hard to decide Just what it means to me Everything exists 'tween black and white You can twist and distort the most blatant of lies Or just offer up solutions Practiced only in your mindI've lost half my life to wisdomSo forgive me if I come off sounding bitterIf my words push you awayIf I seem surprised to see youLying here, in front of meJust consider what you're askingAnd give me a little time'Cause I'm still having trouble breathingFor in all these daysI've never seen you cry[chorus]'...No son of mine...'Should I be sleeping?'...No son of mine...'You never understoodThat I don't need your helpDon't have to save me from myselfOr take me out to proveThat I should live my life like you...As I ask a simple question Cuts me off with his reply He's been practicing for decades But I am listening this timeHe flows in and out of riddles Stories change without the wineAnd at least he seems much clearerOn how it feels to be my size[chorus]Just what it means to meJust what it means to me...
