This was song 29 from the project.
lyrics
on the eve of my induction
to last half of my life
I’m searching for the answers
I won’t find
I don’t feel any wiser
than the day that I turned 5
I might be just a fool
but that’s alright
I’m not going back
Life moves way too fast
while we’re searching for the answers
we’ll likely never find
Nice guys finish last
well I’m getting old and weary
but I’m younger in my mind
and wonder how I got to be so blind
No one’s ever able
to tame the kid inside
he knows it’s not too late to go outside
I’m not going back
Life moves way too fast
while we’re searching for the answers
we’ll likely never find
Nice guys finish last
I’ve spent a lifetime wondering
where I’m supposed to be
the satellites are pointing
towards the open sea
but as I look inside
my heart is telling me
it’s right here in your arms
I’m not going back
Life moves way too fast
while we’re searching for the answers
we’ll likely never find
Nice guys finish last

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
