Stupid me

from The Middle Ages by Joshua Starmer

/

lyrics

It was a stupid afternoon ‘bout a week ago
I looked you up just to see what you’re up to
I saw a picture online, saw a video
I saw a tweet that you made ‘bout a year ago.

Some things come, somethings go
Sometimes I wish you hadn’t kept all your promises
Stupid me, I should know
You never look back on your past when you’re feeling low.

There was this man that I knew selling hardware
I’m pretty sure he didn’t make it to 40
He was married with kids, had a little house
He got the flu and he died on a weekend.

Some things come, somethings go
Sometimes I pray that my life is of consequence
Stupid me, I should know
You never look back on your past when you’re feeling low.

I still remember that guy who could do it all
He was a few years ahead back in highschool
Goofing on an afternoon, played the radio
But self defeat pulled his life into shadow

Some things come, somethings go
Sometimes I keep on keep’n on without confidence
Stupid me, I should know
You never look back on your past when you’re feeling low.
