Adam's Song

The world was wide, too late to try
Of apple juice in the hall
I never conquered, rarely came
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
You'll never step foot in my room again
When I can't wait to get outside
Give all my things to all my friends
And I can't wait till I get home
I never conquered, rarely came
The tour was over we'd survived

Days when I still felt alive
The world is wide, the time goes by
I couldn't wait till I got home
The world was wide, too late to try
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
16 just held such better days
To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone

I traced the cord back to the wall
Days when I could still feel alive
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
At 16 just held such better days
Another six months I'll be unknown
I never conquered, rarely came
Please tell mom this is not her fault
The tour is over I survived
The tour was over but we'd survived

To pass the time in my room alone
We couldn't wait to get outside
I'm too depressed, to go on
You'll close it off, board it up
Days when I still felt alive
Tomorrow held such better days
We couldn't wait to get outside
I couldn't wait till I got home
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
