You're 42
I'm 35
You have a townhouse in the city and a cottage in the hills
No, it's a cottage by the sea
You're an accountant
Wrong
You're in insurance
No cigar
You're unemployed
I lecture medicine at Havard university
Oh isn't that a turn-up for the books
You have a wife
Her name is Mabel
I think not
Two kids at home
Three kids
But Freddy I assure the third one's yours
And in your house
Every room is just alike
From the chandelier, the ceilings to the polished hardwood floors
And oh to live the charmed existence of Fred Rose
Another day begins and he thanks his lucky stars that he's Fred Rose
And yet you're here
You're traipsing round the middle east and getting robbed on trains
I had to take some time away to find myself
Aha, a Midlife crisis?
A sabbatical!
I just got tired of all the same routines and couldn't bare to stay
I needed some adventure in my life
You finish college
You get a job, you settle down, you watch the days turn into years
And in a flash you're 42
No 35!
But still you wonder what it's like to not have every aspect of your world mapped out in front of you
So sad to see the constant struggle of Fred Rose
Another day begins but no one spares a thought for poor Fred Rose
Mr. Rose was a lecturer by trade, made his money fast but was feeling low
And so he waved goodbye to his job, his kids and his wife
Ms. Londonderry was a curious case that he was trying to figure out
She always had so much to say but didn't share a thing about her life
Intriguing!
I think you're hiding
You talk a million miles a minute
To distract you from your thoughts
To keep your moments occupied
To fill the silence
I think that there's a part of you that you don't want the world to see
So it stays tightly locked inside
