[Verse 1]
1996
I remember being happier than now
Spoiled mama’s boy
I had everything I could need or want

Slow it down
I’m falling fast
Take me back
Take me back

[Pre-Chorus]
Silly me
Rushing to grow up
Be out on my own
And now I’m ashamed…

[Chorus]
Ashamed of who I am
Ashamed of who I want to be
Ashamed because I foolishly
Overlooked the simple things
Oh, please
I promise, now I clearly see
I want to be a better me
And embrace the simple things

[Verse 2]
I’m lost again, can you
Please help me find the truth
These MTA click clacks can’t drown out my sorrow
I need something louder, I need something stronger
I take it too far, I wish I could say less
Yes, my life is a movie, a low budget horror

[Pre-Chorus]
Silly me
Rushing to grow up
Be out on my own
But now I’m ashamed…

[Chorus]
Ashamed of who I am
Ashamed of who I want to be
Ashamed because I foolishly
Overlooked the simple things
Oh, please
I promise, now I clearly see
I want to be a better me
And embrace the simple things
