KEEP YOUR HOPES HIGH AND YOUR EXPECTATIONS LOW. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANYTHING BUT THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN’T EARN. ENTHUSIASM CAN PROTECT YOU FROM ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.
And the hours pass by,
Now I just wanna be alone,
But your close friends always seem to know
When there's something really wrong,
So they follow me down the hall,
And there in the bathroom,
I try not to fall apart,
And the sinking feeling starts,
As I say hopelessly,
"He said he'd be here."
Such an iconic verse. The lack of any linguistic techniques or effort to make the lyrics fit into the rhythmic pattern.
