WELCOME TO THE REST OF THE WORLD

(Don Breithaupt)

You look homesick
Combing through your past for clues
Best believe you paid your dues
It doesn’t matter now
The search for proof ends
Where the search for life begins
Time to find a special friend
And remember how

Welcome to the rest of the world
Welcome to the part where it all gets better
Welcome to the rest of the world
It’s yours alone

You stopped trying
Right around the time she split
You should be getting used to it
She’s been gone a while
Now you’re coasting
Making ancient history
Cheshire grin will never be
Mona Lisa’s smile

Welcome to the best of the past
Shining through the lens of the ever-present
Welcome to the rest of the world
You’re on your own

Elsewhere
Elsewhen
You’re having one of those lives
Be there
Be then
Survive survive survive survive
