Just a Few More Moments of Inadequacy

You talk of your goals, your dreams and your fears
You say that you worry because your mind never clears
You talk about things I see you're reluctant to say
You sayyou're just happy that you're here today

You ponder the universe and the meaning of life
You want nothing more than to end humanity's strife
It's all just so big I seem infinitely small
So I start to wonder if I deserve you at all

I keep telling myself we're just two years apart
And that I get good grades and that I'm really quite smart
I know you're failing your courses; it's notnhard to see
But when it comes to the world, you're much smarter than me

You're the master of things that I've never heard of
Fought your way through feelings I've yet to be cured of
Done things and planned things and been where I am now
Asked about the what, who, where, why, and then how

So maybe the future looks a little bit grim
It probably turns out I'm not the one for him
But for now I can listen (or at least follow along)
Until these simple bars end as my life plays its song
