lyrics

Trying to relax on a bench near the road,
Started up an album that I've never heard before.
I mark the time watching shuttles come and go,
I look behind me every 5 minutes or so.
Hobart Street
Would feel twice as sweet
If I didn't have to sit alone
Reading in a monotone for hours.
I have to act my age
On Hobart Street.

I pick my feet up and walk to the overlook,
Hooked a pencil to the side of my notebook.
I didn't want to work, but I would have tried;
Half a fraternity sat right down by my side.
In Squirrel Hill
I got my fill
Of searching up and down until
I found somewhere cold, still, and quiet.
But I defied myself
In Squirrel Hill.

I stayed put, and they handed me a mug,
Asked if I was still in school, and I could only shrug.
Struggle to keep up, and it's making me get sick.
Erased the line between private and public
In Schenley Park.
We talked till dark.
I was young enough to still pretend.
What happens when I can pretend no longer?
Will I become a liar
In Schenley Park?
