rose

so i've been around
sorry,
but i cant help being young
and in college
beer, independance, and women
never mixed well with boys
i havent changed
college isnt to blame
boys will boys
i've been living for so long
finally i feel alive
so let me be
im still the same old
spoiled rich kid you knew
in high school
im still that kid
that always had a date to the dance
and im still that kid
that would sit quietly after school
under a tree reading a book
work at the homeless shelter
in the afternoon
and party at night
and still managed to stay
in the Honors Society
and the outcome
of a sporting event
still doesnt effect my attitude
i still write
just to write
not to impress women
i still work
just to work
so people can't call me lazy
and i still remember our time together
i've been in college, not prison
i still know what love is
and i know that i still love you
my hands have gotton dirty
over the years
and i may stink
but i still know
what a rose smells like
