julian greenwell - the man on the bench lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was walking to the park
the sign said it was closed after dark, i don’t care
the air was cool
it could’ve been colder

[verse 2]
i saw a man sitting on a bench
taking turns between his beer and cigarette
is that gonna be me
when i’m older?

[b section]
we talked for a while, he was thirty+one
he made it pretty clear he was drunk
said he spent his whole life on drugs
since he was fourteen
that’s pretty young, well
i’m turning eighteen
and i’m just wondering
is this it?

[verse 3]
but what about your childhood dreams
challenging how the world seems?
he laughed and he said
“thosе are dead”
[verse 4]
“i was waiting for when i fеlt inspired
it’s easier to be pitied than admired
spent so long in the dark
that i burned out my spark”

[b section]
“now the sky is shrouded in black
these bottles help me distract”
he offered me a drink, but i had to decline
a thunderstorm is nigh
but before we say goodbye
i’m just wondering
is this it?

[bridge]
slowly at first the rain came down
wishin’ there was an umbrella around
but he seemed unphased as he clutched his beer
he leaned in close so i could hear

[b section]
“here’s some advice i wish i’d listened to
life is all about powering through
nothing worthwhile is easy, it’s true
that’s why life is so hard
and it won’t wait for you”
won’t wait for you
[verse 5]
then the storm put out his cigarette
flooded his bottle ’til there was no beer left
hard to tell if it was tears in his eyes or just
rain from the skies

[verse 6]
i never saw that man again
but every day i pass by that bench
and i wonder to myself
is this it?
