When I was young, I felt confident and wise

Now that I'm old, I feel wrong and unsure

the truth lies somewhere in the middle

When I was thin I thought I was fatter than I was

Now that I'm fat I think I'm thinner than I am

the truth lies somewhere in the middle

When I was a dreamer I thought that money didn't matter

When I woke up, I realized that money can't not matter.

the truth lies somewhere in the middle

I used to dream all the time

It's harder now to dream

And the truth lies somewhere in the middle

I relate to this a lot. Especially the part about weight. I look back at pictures and think to myself, “damn, you were thin.” But back when the photo was take my perception of myself was that I was fat or looked out of shape.
