lukewarm
2001-11-01-11:16 a.m.

People always tellin' me how happy I could be, I'm never gonna find out. A house in the burbs and a bitchin' SUV is how I'm never gonna wind up. I didn't know Lennon, or King or Kennedy, but I know one thing, you've gotta know your enemies. People always tellin' me how happy I could be, I'm never gonna find out.

Better to suffer it, than to live under it. I'm never gonna be just fine, no way. I'm never gonna be that guy, I'm never gonna be just fine, but there are times I need you to remind me. I'm never gonna be that guy, I'm never gonna be just fine.

I never wanna say my best days are behind me. I never wanne be lukewarm again.

IF being frightened means that I'll always be aware, I'm always gonna be scared. Everybody's got a way of workin' out the world, like E is M and C squared. There's Buddha and Mohammed and JC and all of them, and I'm ivri (baruch ata Hashem). Everybody's got a way of workin' out the world, I'm never gonna find out.

Better to suffer it, than to live under it. I'm never gonna be just fine, no way. I'm never gonna be that guy, I'm never gonna be just fine, but there are times I need you to remind me. I never wanna say my best days are behind me. I never wanna be lukewarm again.

There is a summer, it's all the time, for every one of us.

There is a summer, it's all the time, for every one of us.

(The above are lyrics from New End Originals song, Lukewarm. It's been stuck in my head for a week, and Jonah has said what I've felt for a long time, perfectly.)
