All my life I've had the feeling That I was born too late With a sense of direction But nothing on my plate No, I was not that fortunate And this year's been worse Though I couldn't admit I kept a straight face but nearly fell into the pit But that's just my luck I should've seen it coming I always knew but I couldn't tell There's a snake in the wishing well I always knew but I couldn't tell There's a snake in the wishing well All my life I've had the feeling That mine's particularly hard Like a supporting actor Yearning for leading parts But that was never in my cards When I though I'd make it They said never would I tried to make a point but They didn't think it was good No one ever understood I should've seen it coming I always knew but I couldn't tell There's a snake in the wishing well I always knew but I couldn't tell There's a snake in the wishing well And I try my best to keep walking straight But a weight around my ankles makes it strained I know I've always been seen as strange But I could never seem to do Things in someone else's ways If you can't continue on the road you're on Don't go back where you came from No, you find a new one At least that's what I've done And I always keep the strings loose So the other ends don't know when they're cut I decided a long time ago that I'd Always put myself first No sacrifice is too big to make I'd give my life if that's what it takes It seems to end like that anyway I'll know when it's over I'll show myself out
