Lost & Found
2 Skinnee J's Lyrics

Me looking for fun and you found that
I was seeking enjoyment and you discovered it

Heart on your sleeve, gum on your shoes
You are emotional and carefree

Looking this year's model, feeling yesterday's news
Appearing current, but feeling outdated

So you take off running like a dog at a racetrack
You run away excitedly like a greyhound

Crowded in like clowns in a hatchback
Packed together tightly and in a ridiculous manner

Into your own, out in the night
Retreating to your thoughts, alone in the darkness

You get a tan from the spotlight
Basking in the attention in the spotlight

Lost and found in the mirror now
Confused or rediscovering yourself while looking in the mirror

Coming down, getting clearer now
Your thoughts are settling down and becoming more coherent

Coming round, getting nearer now
Getting closer to clarity or understanding

Lost and found, right before your eyes
You are discovering and rediscovering yourself before your very eyes

You never say a word you would take back
You don't regret the things you say

You came looking for truth and they faked that
You sought honesty, but were given falsehoods

Selling out, buying in
Compromising your values to fit in

Trading capitol gains and original sin
Exchanging material possessions and inherent imperfections

So you come out swinging like it's time for some payback
You emerge aggressively seeking revenge

Too late, out of date like an eight track
It's too little, too late, like outdated technology

Fade to black, fade to grey
The situation slowly disintegrates or becomes uncertain

Tired of it anyway
You've had enough of it all

And you say
You speak up

It might me hard, but it sure looks easy to me
What appears difficult to others, is simple to you

It might seem funny, but it don't look funny to me
Others may find it humorous, but you do not

'Cause they keep on talking but they still ain't talking to me
They continue speaking, but are not directly addressing you

And they think they're ready but they sure ain't ready for me
Others think they're prepared, but they are not ready to face you

Find time to shine before the last act
Showcase your talents before it's too late

You came looking for faith but you're past that
You wanted to believe, but that time has passed

Comedy and tragedy
Both humor and sadness are present

When irony is your strategy
Using unexpected outcomes as a tactic

So you jump up singing on cue like a laugh track
You join in at the right moment, like a pre-recorded audience laugh

Switch lanes or remain in the fast track
Change courses or continue on the same successful path

You don't know, you don't care
You are undecided and indifferent

See you when you get there
Meet at a later time or place
