Peter Katz Pictures Lyrics

Oh the wasted time
With the pictures that he finds
Of those perfect people
Living out his life
He wished he had their river
So he could skate their way

Oh the sorry story
The boy who had it all
Though was tall and mighty
He always felt so small
He couldn’t find his river
Couldn’t skate away

So you go and you say
That you don’t care either way
But it’s bullshit and you know it, yeah

All those he looked up to
Were never looking back
Though he tried the hardest
Stepping on no cracks
Still his back went broken most days

Well I guess he should have learned it
Early on in life
Nothing that’s most precious
Is easily in sight And everything you cling to
Surely breaks away

So you go and you say
That you don’t care either way
But it’s bullshit and you know it, yeah

Truth is, hear me straight
If I don’t change something I’ll break
And I’m tired of living this way

Tell me now just one thing:
Why’s this what you do?
When you say it breaks you
Pieces you in two
Tell me straight now is it,
Is it worth it to you?

Well when I go and I say
That I don’t care either way
It’s such bullshit and I know it, yeah

Truth is, hear me straight:
If I don’t change something I’ll break

And I’m tired of living this way.
