Umphrey's McGee

Umphrey's McGee or UM is an American progressive rock band originally from South Bend, Indiana whose music is often referred to as "progressive improvisation", or "improg" (as per a progressive sampler released by the band in 2009). Although the band is part of the jam band scene, like Phish and the Grateful Dead (with ever-changing setlists, improvisation, two sets per night, open taping policy, etc.), they are much more influenced musically by progressive rock bands such as King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, and early Genesis, as well as heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden.

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

When I was young, still a kid
I was unprepared, never thought before I did
And now as I look back I can't believe it
I told lies, needed proof, I was further from the truth
So I locked myself in the corner of my room
Yeah I thought maybe my view could be better
I never knew what I did, it would all come back
I'd be forced to sift through all the misdirection
I believed in

I relied on my youth, I could make up an excuse
And collected scars, yeah, I thought that I could choose
And my way would be destined to deliver

You never have as long as you want
So don't get caught up in the
We never could take back time that we're wasting

I only hope that you've been listening
But I doubt you could repeat a thing
Yeah I've been in that seat before
It's always easy to ignore
When no one wants or needs advice
From someone they don't think is right
And just cause I've been wrong before
It doesn't mean I don't want more for

You live in the long-term world and it's hard to endure
(But ya) Do cause you've already seen and
You know the routine now
(We) Maybe could meet in the middle
It's not too difficult
(To) Cause we're both just stuck with spinning wheels

The odds aren't any easier on either side
And just because you say it doesn't make it right
Don't think I ever could repay you
But it's still my life
I hope I never have to say or go forever a day without you

(You) Live in the long-term world and it's hard to endure (But ya)
(Do) Cause you've already seen and
You know the routine now
(We) Maybe could meet in the middle
It's not too difficult

(To) Cause we can't take back this wasted time, but
(You) Never have as long as you want so don't get caught up
(But ya)
(Do) Yeah you've already seen and it's not any easier but
(We) Maybe could meet in the middle
It's not too difficult
(To) Cause we can't take back this wasted time
