This is a song I wrote about Post-Graduation Depression, and trying to find the answer to what you're going to do with your life. The rush of college makes it seem like you have to have an answer right away. But sometimes you don't. Especially during the summer, when it's nice outside, and you just wanna reelaax. This is a song for those who are tired of trying to figure things out and just wanna take life as it comes, in a lean-back summer chair on the porch.

If I could find the answer
It'd be somewhere aloof on a rooftop.
I don't know where I'm going
But I was going way too fast too stop
Now, I'm going downhill and my breaks are shot out

If I should find the answer
Inside of a Cracker Jack Box,
I'd tilt my head back and laugh at myself
For taking life way to seriously
This is just one punch line in a standup routine
I need to lay down to find my inner me

Bridge
All these questions and my second guessings are too much
All these lessons come with stress and I'm confessing its enough


I don't know what I'm doing
I'm biting more than I'm chewing
I can't spend the rest of my life Cubin'
Thinkin' bout all the time I'm losing

.....

I might just find the answer
Inside a fortune cookie I won't even eat
It'd give me platitudes an attitude to match
Tell me about the opportunities I should catch

But right now I think that I'ma just kick it
And to the man I will continue to stick it
Change my oil and get new brakes for my stick shift
But then I'll put it in neutral and I'ma just coast


If I could find the answer
I might be doing something other than this
But then again you know, this might be the answer
Wait a minute I think it probably is
