lyrics

I'm on a skateboard
I fall on my face
I cannot help it
How can I face you
Now that I'm back

I'm feeling sunburned
I'm smelling chlorine
I won't swim and
Floating's boring
I'm back

I won't play music; I won't make any noise
No sideways glances made, like some other boys
No reason left to let me do what I can
And I won't ever turn around
No, I won't ever turn around again

I'm not a card cheat
I never play it
I cannot hold my hands still
They're shakin'
Since I'm back

It's not an article of faith
It's not just something I can take
I can't just close my eyes and feel the same

I'm on a skateboard
I cannot help it
I fall on my face
But falling is selfish
I'm back
