I feel like myself when I get set down
I feel like the old Sebastian again
I feel like singin' a new song to myself
'Bout how things still ain't happenin'
You are the latest and far from the greatest
To cast me by the wayside
The latest lie I've fed myself one too many times
The latest, deflatedest, most slanted rhyme
How I still wish you were mine
My dear guitar-slingin' unclaimed prize
It's me, the old Sebastian again
I'm callin' out your name, same as mine
I'm sorry things still ain't happenin'
I know you're the latest, bet you won't be the greatest
To dwell within that pale skin
And you're bound to win, 'cause it's you that I believe in
The latest, courageousest, you're right on time
And I'm so glad you're mine
I feel like myself when I get set down
I feel like the old Sebastian again
I feel like singin' this old song to myself
To remind me how life is ongoin'
