Recently I was invited to a 10 year school reunion in a few weeks time and my mixed emotions inspired me to write this song.

I hated school and wanted to leave, and those peers of mine I've reconnected with via LinkedIn have impressive careers now whereas I'm struggling to get one, so it's a weird feeling. And yet, people want to see me and I'm somewhat excited about seeing how they've all matured and how we get on as adults.

This feels like a late 90s pop song to me so I've tagged it accordingly.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Never dreamed I’d end up like this
Why’s it have to feel like something I missed
Why can’t the dream
Match reality
No matter how fast I climb that hill
You have reached the top in double time still
Real misery
Oh someone help me

Chorus:
You probably think I’m mad
Yet I see in you the life I could’ve had
For me, it seems like yesterday
For you, it was a lifetime away
X2

Verse 2:
Ten year reunion, gee that sounds like fun
Rubbing shoulders with floaty ghosts
From days I longed to leave the most
There you sit smug in your success
Where once you weren’t different from the rest
Run from the past into the past
And hope that better memories last

Repeat Chorus
