Everyone

Solomon Mansfield 2005

Here I am
Back again
Thinking about everyone

They could all do it
So tell me
Why can't I

Is it me?
It's gotta be
Since everyone else could

Any slight chance
Gone in a flash
I can't do it

Why can't I do
What everyone else can
That they all did so easily

They're all better
Or maybe I'm just worse
Than everyone
