ben folds - boxing lyrics
howard, the strangest things
have happened lately when i
take a good swing at all my dreams
they pivot and slip
i drop my fists and they’re back
laughing
howard,
my intention’s become
not to lose what i’ve won
ambition has given way to
desperation and i
lost the fight for my eyes
chorus
boxing’s been good to me, howard
now i’m told, “you’re growing old”
the whole time we knew
a couple of years i’d be through
has boxing been good to you?
howard, now i confess
i’m scared and lonely and tired
they seem to think i’m made of clay
another day
i’m not cut out for this
i just know what to say
i say
chorus
well sometimes i punch myself
hard as i can, yelling
“n-body cares”
hoping some one will tell me
how wrong i am
howard,
chorus
boxing’s been good to me howard
now i’m told
“you’re growing old”
the whole time you knew
a couple of years
i’d be through
has boxing been good. . .
has boxing been good. . .
has boxing been good?
