Lyrics from CD booklet
Remember when you was 17?
You's going crazy- you know what I mean.
It weren't that long ago- in the grand scheme of things.
It weren't that long ago- you think you're so much smarter now.
21- everything stays in place, 41 some things start to fade-
Well when you're so young you want to be older.
And when you're older you want the body you have now.
I believe in a perfect world you'd rule your own universe-
The only company you'd need would be in your brain.
The only company you ever need is in your head
You want this, now, you want that- can't have it all
You should enjoy what you have-
But I know what you want-
Well I know what you want-
Well I know what you want-
You want the better of two halves

Studio Notes
“I used ‘Blacky’ [black ’88 Gibson Les Paul Standard] into a Boss RV-5 digital reverb, a modded Boss TR-2 tremolo, out to the Fender Pro Junior. Later, we did an overdub with the Ovation 12-string into an old tweed Fender Bassman. “- Carl Broemel, talking about his gear choice

Band quotes
"[it's about his tendency to] get caught up in the past or the future. It’s tough sometimes to be grateful for what you have right now"- Jim James
