it broke off

when i was a kid i had it made in the shade

couple girlfriends and a chevrolet

oh how i long for those days

when all i needed was a couple of bucks

just enough to put some gas in my truck

buy a six pack of beer and get a weird haircut

well i used to have a handle on life

but it broke off

well i used to have it all figured out

but now i'm lost

it used to be clear to me

now everything looks so blurry

i used to have a handle on life

but it broke off

well i grew up so they say

got a real job and and ira

a mortgage on this house

i can barely pay

a blackberry and a cellphone

i spend more time at work

then i do at home

somebody please tell me where i went wrong

well i used to have a handle on life

but it broke off

well i used to have it all figured out

but now i'm lost

it used to be clear to me

now everything looks so blurry

i used to have a handle on life

but it broke off

i know nothing stays the same

but i feel like i'm dancing

way too close to the flame

well i used to have a handle on life

but it broke off

well i used to have it all figured out

but now i'm lost

it used to be clear to me

now everything looks so blurry

i used to have a handle on life

but it broke off

yeah i used to have a handle on life

but it broke off
