I did nothing except eat wonder bread he said
just like the commercials
i did what i was told
I wore my best brand logo
on the edge of my sleeve
I tried to bowl 300
I tried to learn how to waltz
i realized that my best effort
was just a waste
I could have grown up in Boise
but I didn't
I could have graduated from Harvard
at the top of my class
but I didn't
I could have been that dream
i dreamed
but I wasn't
I did nothing except eat my wonder bread
and rest my head
on your arm
on that hot summer day
when i was so small
so very small
and you were the entire whole world
