| [00:09.045] |
Here I am standing, ten feet between us |
| [00:13.033] |
Beside me the door that I just came through |
| [00:16.675] |
Where I walk past an overweight cop in an alley |
| [00:20.494] |
With a beer gut bursting from a bullet-proof jacket |
| [00:24.546] |
Who thinks to himself I've got to get back to the man that I was when I was a dreamer |
| [00:32.679] |
With a partner in crime named Brandi McGill |
| [00:36.327] |
A girl with a love of life bigger than normal |
| [00:40.378] |
Who still wonders when her life will begin |
| [00:44.126] |
Her best friend Maria who seems to have everything |
| [00:48.662] |
Tells her she probably just needs a vacation |
| [00:52.220] |
Away from the stress of her husbands vocation |
| [00:56.316] |
While Maria is talking Brandi is drifting |
| [01:00.085] |
Staring at John who just got the job busing tables to pay for community college |
| [01:07.908] |
An associates degree in x-ray technology |
| [01:12.251] |
John is too old to still be in college |
| [01:15.981] |
He doesn't like class and sometimes doesn't go |
| [01:19.762] |
Long story short his family was broken |
| [01:23.931] |
He was freed from a past life as a kid on skid Row |
| [01:27.484] |
He notices Brandi but stares at Maria |
| [01:31.733] |
Her beauty well practiced and casting a spell |
| [01:35.573] |
Imagining her naked he spills dirty dishes |
| [01:39.444] |
On the lap of an elderly woman named Belle |
| [01:43.804] |
A lady who won't live to see her next birthday |
| [01:47.608] |
But shares a warm smile regardless of that |
| [01:51.651] |
The mess that unfolds completely surrounds her |
| [01:55.550] |
Not one bit of urgency enters her soul |
| [01:59.543] |
She reaches for Roy, her husband forever |
| [02:03.460] |
In love and connection her small hand he holds |
| [02:23.024] |
And nothing comes of it but a manager's anger |
| [02:27.151] |
Not for the mess but her father's remark |
| [02:31.080] |
About a bad grade that she had as a child |
| [02:34.955] |
So she takes her revenge out by firing John |
| [02:38.912] |
Who now wonders when his life will begin |
| [02:42.877] |
Ain't it confusing to search for the will and learn when you find it that you've lost your way |
| [02:51.049] |
Long story short he saw a commercial that said that the 20's are the prime of your life |
| [02:58.678] |
But that doesn't seem to be true at this moment |
| [03:02.831] |
As he cleans out his locker and calls his best friend |
| [03:06.740] |
Who's too busy to talk cause he's prepping with lawyers |
| [03:10.516] |
To keep money from his ex-wife the mother of their only son |
| [03:16.500] |
Who's naturally drawn to guns and sharp objects who now has no father |
| [03:22.578] |
Except for on weekends two times a month |
| [03:26.684] |
No need to worry I'm told were protected by the men passing laws in the house and the senate |
| [03:34.321] |
From people who mix up the truth and reality with movies and games and ridiculous scenarios |
| [03:42.155] |
Long story short, best I can tell, children can't be left to raise themselves |
