Correction Lyrics Toe to Toe by Noah Reid

Back

Lyrics

Back off buddy!
Leave me alone

What're you gonna do about it
Write a poem?

I hate this game
I hate my life

Ah, if you won't fight
Get off this ice

I'm jonesin' to unleash these fists of fury
In a rope-a-dope display of fighting flurry
Let's go!

It's time, lets go, we're goin' toe to toe
(Repeat x15)

My goodness, why did I ever doubt that boy?
This is a watershed moment of happiness and joy

With that punch, the sky's the limit

Think I swallowed my bicuspid

Everything's gone seriously awry!

Oh oh, honey, I'm so sad I can't even cry

(noise fades out)

Who is this person, this person in such a rage
I've become a stranger to myself on this stage
It's no excuse and I know that for sure

But being one of the boys held a surprising allure
It's clear that I have lost myself in this game
This person before me is Farley Gordon, but only in name
These cheers are hollow
They are in vain
Forcing my resolve never to play hockey again

Where are you goin'? I wanna hug you with pride

Back where I belong...
Outside

...

What has happened?
Why can't I concentrate?
Aristotle is Arisnotle
Socrates is not worth the debate
Philosophy used to be jet fuel for my brain
Now reading a page is positively Herculean

Since I quit
The game obviously holds no allure
Before my blues
Even art doesn't offer a cure
How did I ever become so vain?
Could modelling underwear be any more lame?
And Eve, oh Eve
How I miss her so
But I can't find a way past our current embargo
I try to remain positive but I lose hope, she'll be gone forever
I wish she'd give me a call
Or send me a letter

My world which once seemed so full of music and light
Has been reduced to a monochrome of black and white

He sleeps
All-day
He's no longer engaged

My diagnosis:
Adolescent malaise

Is there a cure?
Anything we can do?

Well, hopefully, he'll grow out of it in a year or two
