lyrics

Since I was a kid
Tried to learn all the songs I could
Wrote some pop punk and then
Spent few years touring in a band

Never saw much success
There’s no lesson in Tenderness
But I did have my fun
And now your listening to this song
So I can’t have done it wrong

‘Cause everything takes a long time babe
Nothing good comes in just one day
Everything takes a long time babe
Nothing good comes in just one day

Never stayed with a girl
Til I found one and married her
Always changing my ways
Not afraid of making mistakes

Road a skateboard each day
Eleven years all I got’s bad knees
But if you gave me fresh knees
I’d grab a board, fuck them up again
And try to make it pro

‘Cause everything takes a long time babe
Nothing good comes in just one day
Everything takes a long time babe
Nothing good comes in just one day

It drives you crazy taking that time
Yes it does
Rather be at the bar, get yourself drunk
It’s the way that it’s got to be to do it right
Try to show me another way
You won’t change my mind

‘Cause everything takes a long time babe
Nothing good comes in just one day
Road a skateboard for eleven years
And all it gave me was two fucked up knees
If you gave me some brand new knees
I’d grab a skateboard fuck them up again
