Tiff Song

I was young then
How could I know
That the mistakes I made would fade away
Like names pissed in the snow

Seems like young men
Have a reputation to uphold
Go get drunk do somethin' dumb
Kiss a girl bite your tongue
Do what you’re told

I'm getting over
Getting older all the time
I guess a toenail makes no difference
In a good bottle of wine

These images that fade
In and out of focus
Looking for that magnum opus
Hell I hope it's down the line
As I’m smokin' down this phony showbiz shine

It seems so seamless
When you see it all at first
When the photo flashes burst
And then the smilin' starts to hurt
Who could dream this

It's like I'm drownin' in my thirst
The fabrication of appeal
Let's keep it real
Except what's real is all rehearsed

I bought this jacket
Because the front said montreal
That’s a town I had to leave I didn’t want to leave at all
And when I wear it
It makes me feel alone
It's a reminder that I needed a reminder
Of a place I once called home

But in toronto
There’s a couple parks I know
Where the trees flow in the breeze
And the people all walk slow

And I could sit there for hours
Even in the snow
I can always find the time to waste my time
I hope I never let that go
