Seth Blissenbach - I've Known You Since I Was A Kid lyrics

I've known you since I was a kid Loved you ever since then You taught me rhyme schemes and hope to cope with everything But I still feel sick I've seen you in all of your forms I've seen you quietly performed I've seen you shout and screamed and hollered By true heroes and cowards, souls that we're truly torn I've known you since I was a kid Loved you ever since then You taught me rhyme schemes and hope to cope with everything But I still feel sick Without you I couldn't live Without me you'd be alright I'm sure you'd find another heart to ensnare As I exhale the air That would lay me down for the rest of time I remember what my uncle said He said, "Boy, don't you give up on this." He said, "That's some set of tools that you're working with You better use them while they're at their sharpest" Then he said, "Oh, no don't cha listen to me I'm just old and tired dreaming 'bout dreams That left long ago on a cruise ship while I was stuck here 'Cuz life got in the way." Why does life always get in the way? Why does it seem like we're moving slowly Sometimes it takes precision Sometimes it takes real tact Sometimes it takes something I just don't have Sometimes it takes something I just don't have
