Go ahead and look through my things
I left em there for you
All I ask is that you
leave the posters on the wall
And after all this time I realize
It was never that bad at all


You might think that I m smiling
But this is how I bare my teeth
And don t confuse this view of Hollywood
With a view of the Earth
I think I ll close my eyes
Let the curtain fall on this night


Sometimes you fail
And some things you never learn
But these days I try
And now I think I understand why
You tore my pages from your book
And cast them in the fire
But they won t burn
They won t burn


Go ahead and look through my things
I m sure you ve seen em all before
Now I m gone I wonder
Do they mean a little more
To you I leave these final words:
Look at the wall and realize
It was never that bad at all


Sometimes you fail
And some things you never learn
But these days I try
And now I think I understand why
You tore my pages from your book
And cast them in the fire
But they won t burn
They won t burn
