Songtexte Make the Grade - Jack Conte

Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae,
The whale bones, so pretty,
But my body
Still didn't make the grade,
Still didn't make the grade.

Somewhere in the basement I once had
A good idea but I can't find it.
My mind is drawing blanks
To fill the page,
But I still won't make the grade,
Still won't make the grade.

I'm regaining patience
In the better half of man,
And the stories we'll remember
Are from a different hand.

Somewhere at the bottom of my brain
I just don't care and I don't want to.
But I do, anyway...
Anyway, I
Still won't make the grade,
Still won't make the grade.

I'm regaining patience
In the better half of man,
And the stories we'll remember
Are from a different hand.

Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae,
The whale bones, so pretty,
But my body
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
