[Verse 1]
Do you remember summers on the wasteland?
Lying on our backs and looking at the sky
We could hear the intercity trains, and little children playing close by

Do you remember what I said?
Nothing lasts for long
Everything goes wrong

Sleeping each day and afternoon[?]
Questions, questions, answers unknown
Bicycles and [?]
Girls and always arguing at home
Using unfamiliar phrases and feeling jumbled up inside
The first time that I tried

[Chorus]
The original mixed up kid
The original mixed up kid
Thinking about those things we said and did
I'm the original mixed up kid

[Verse 2]
Situations change, I know that
I don't look or act the samе anymore
And time can fly beforе you know it
More years than you've got fingers for
You'd better stick with fiction books if you're looking for a happy end
We are not even friends
[Chorus]
The original mixed up kid
The original mixed up kid
Thinking about those things we said and did
I'm the original mixed up kid

[Bridge]
So long ago
Seems like no time at all

[Chorus]
I'm the original mixed up kid
The original mixed up kid
Thinking about those things we said and did
I'm the original mixed up kid

The original mixed up kid
The original mixed up kid
Thinking about those things we said and did
I'm the original mixed up kid
