When I was 19 I listened to indie rock and hated my parents
I felt just like a prisoner of my fate
I had too many girlfriends and I felt like I needed more
I swore that I had lost my mind and I OD'd on caffeine

I never was alright
It felt like just last night
I'd like to say that I've changed so much since then
But I really can't say...

When I was 19 I claimed that I should be 28
In retrospect, well I just laugh 'cause I'll never reach that age
When I was 19 I thought that I was a superstar
I played small shows in smaller clubs and I felt like I'd hit the big time

But I never was alright
And it felt like just last night
I'd like to say that I've changed so much since then
But I really can't say...

When I was 19 I decided to run far away
From Gatlinburg to Portland I knew I had to find my place
Now it's so much later, but is it so much at all
It's only when you count the things that change,
You find you'll always come up short

ukulele love! <3 It's cool, upbeat song that has a nice underlayer of meaning. Nice job.
