Listen "Typical Teenage Songs"
Episode Synopsis
Lyrics:
Maybe I’ll talk about life
The ups and the downs, the misery and strife
But it’s been done before
In a lot of different ways
Maybe I’ll sing about love
But without much experience to talk of
What would be the point?
To connect with more people perhaps?
So, I’ll give it a try
To write what the world has been writing since the dawn of time
I will capture the songs
That sum up the way in which most of you can belong
Cus there’s typical, typical you
And atypical, typical me
And as much as you want to believe
There’s no hope for me
No sire
I’ve seen all the pictures you take
But posing for photos, a memory doesn’t make
You have a lot of proof
But no stories to tell
One day you and I will meet
Fragments of stories entwine and complete
Two become whole
And the story is told well
So, in a number of years
When we are both comfortable with the life we’ve made
You will listen to this,
And hear all the thoughts that were burrowing in my head
Thinking of typical, typical you
And atypical, typical me
And even though looks can deceive
We are meant to be
For eternity
And although I try
Life passes by
Stranger and stranger I become
Are you still waiting?
Anticipating my arrival when I come
And although I’ll be doing it wrong
You will still play right along
And this will just become one of those
Typical teenage songs
Those typical teenage songs
Those typical teenage songs
Maybe I’ll talk about life
The ups and the downs, the misery and strife
But it’s been done before
In a lot of different ways
Maybe I’ll sing about love
But without much experience to talk of
What would be the point?
To connect with more people perhaps?
So, I’ll give it a try
To write what the world has been writing since the dawn of time
I will capture the songs
That sum up the way in which most of you can belong
Cus there’s typical, typical you
And atypical, typical me
And as much as you want to believe
There’s no hope for me
No sire
I’ve seen all the pictures you take
But posing for photos, a memory doesn’t make
You have a lot of proof
But no stories to tell
One day you and I will meet
Fragments of stories entwine and complete
Two become whole
And the story is told well
So, in a number of years
When we are both comfortable with the life we’ve made
You will listen to this,
And hear all the thoughts that were burrowing in my head
Thinking of typical, typical you
And atypical, typical me
And even though looks can deceive

Anticipating my arrival when I come
And although I’ll be doing it wrong
You will still play right along
And this will just become one of those
Typical teenage songs
Those typical teenage songs
Those typical teenage songs
