silver platter club

Singer:john grant

i wish that i could get up in the early morning time

things would fall out of the sky into my lap

i wish i had the brain of a tyrannosaurus rex

so that i wouldn't have to deal with all this crap

i wish that i'd been born with skin that turned to golden brown

while at the beach relaxing in the summer time

i wish that i was good at football

baseball and lacrosse

darts and basketball

and poker

golf and chess

i'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me

on a silver platter

like they did to you

i'm sorry that i wasn't able to become

the man you think i should aspire to

i wish i had the genes of eduardo verastegui

that i was effortlessly masculine as well

i wish that confidence was all you could see in my eyes

like those interviews in locker rooms with talented sports guys

i wish i had no self-awareness like the guys i know

float right through their lives without a thought

and that i didn't give a shit what anybody thought of me

that i was so relaxed you'd think that i was bored

i'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me

on a silver platter

like they did to you

i'm sorry that i wasn't able to become

the man you think i should aspire to

i'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me

on a silver platter

like they did to you

i'm sorry that i wasn't able to become

the man you think i should aspire to

i'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me

on a silver platter

like they did to you

i'm sorry that i wasn't able to become

the man you think i should aspire to

i'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me

on a silver platter

like they did to you

i'm sorry that i wasn't able to become

the man you think i should aspire to

i'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me

on a silver platter

like they did to you
