Life of Compromise

Corner, corner baby well you wrote the most,
 I'll be the man, I'll be the one you miss, you miss the most
 Twisting, twisting through the evening light,
 it's the golden age again,
 I swear it might, it might've never crossed my mind
 My shame, I fear it feels the same,
 I'm fearful of a sequel where the
 future is a shooting range, and I am the game
 It's a long,
 long road to feel like a special man, inside of you, inside of me
 I've lost my strength,
 now I fear this is the only way, it's the only way
 In a life of compromise, I've seen you changing and it changed my mind
 Feeling like an angel with my new degree,
 my keeper put a hand out like a mannequin of jubilee
 Fishing, fishing for a true surprise,
 because I'm different than the other
 kids, indifferent drinking Miller Lite
 My acclaim is an inflated case,
 I'm fearful of a middle man who's
 clinging to his better days, living to sedate
 It's a long road to reveal the
 ordinary man inside of you, inside of me
 I've lost my strength,
 now I fear this is the only way, it's the only way
 In a life of compromise, I've seen the changes and it changed my mind
 Compromise, I've seen the changes and I closed my eyes
