Autobiography Lyrics - One Chord To Another - Sloan

I'm writing 'young and gifted' in my autobiography, 

I figure who would know better than me? 

I'm certainly the former, 

but I'm not so much the latter. 

But no-one's gonna read it, 

so I'm sure it doesn't matter. 

When you find that you're the former, 

take pride in how you form. 

And when you find that you're the latter, 

don't let those people walk under you. 

I'm writing 'sharp and adult' with my finger on the steam 

on the mirror in my bathroom, 

and I'm applying shaving cream, 

which could suggest that I'm the foamer. 

But how can I be the lather? 

And something tells me it's the opposite I'd rather.

When you find that you're the foamer, 

be careful what you foam. 

And when you find that you're the lather, 

don't shave too high, you'll regret it later. 

La la la la la

I stayed in school this long but still no-one will tell me why, 

they figured 'who would know better than I?' 

I know I'm a conformer, but I'm sure it doesn't matter, 

my new friends are all adults, 

and my old friends all have scattered.

When you find that you're a conformer, 

take pride and swallow whole. 

But if you're trying to climb the ladder, 

don't let people walk over you, 

because that's just what they'll do. 

And don't let people walk over you, 

because that's just what they'll do.
