With you i've been waiting
The years have gone by
It's like i've been here before
It's like i've sung that same line
The california sun faded
So i left it behind
I've told that same old story
Like four million times

It's all right i don't mind
I'm not ashamed after all
I'll be fine when the time comes
For my curtain call
Things change if you want it or not
So i'll give what i got
It might not be a lot after fall

Nonprofit? not likely.
Good luck with that, man
Go climb the ladder -
You might just get paid now and then
Thanks for those kind words
That gets me right here in the chest
I guess i'm destined for failure
If you call that success

It's all right i don't mind
I'm not ashamed after all
I'll be fine when the time comes
For my curtain call
Things change if you want it or not
So i'll give what i got
It might not be a lot after fall

It's not my sparkling charm
That gets me all that i need
Thank god it's not the strength of my song
Thank god, indeed
