Verse 1
This cigar, burns a hole straight through my jeans
And through your hearts, as I watch the ashes form

Another scar, that I will never show, but somehow everybody seems to know
My demons, In all my efforts I've committed treason for chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons,
They make me feel so small, but I'm so proud to tell them all..


Chorus 1
..That I'm a man now

I can drive a car
And I'm a dropout
I'm nobody so far

But I don't mess with
Cigarettes and alcohol
'Cause I'm the best there is

And they tell me all the winners smoke cigars

Verse 2

This guitar, is pouring melodies that burn inside my heart
As the sound is broken up by passing cars
They don't know that I'm above or that I'm swimming in the middle of an ocean

I'm riding on a wave of pure emotion
I'm drinking up the sea like it's a potion
Maybe it can lend me wings

I'll either float or start to sink..

Chorus 2

..'Cause I'm a man now
I can drive a car
And I'm a dropout

I'm nobody so far
But I don't mess with
Cigarettes and alcohol

'Cause I'm the best there is
And they tell me all the winners play guitar


Verse 3
And I know I've never been the kind to let them get inside my mind
You just got to see

That I need them on my side
I promise not to breathe it in, or ever strum a chord again
'Cause it burns my lungs and hurts my tongue to know that..
