Under my dads scrutiny to give up the chase
but all that grew on me was an influx in weight
a big bunch of changes in my lowest of times
and it took me ages to open my eyes

though showing the signs i would beg to differ
a load of my time was spent in liquor
getting bigger, just lounging around
then to dinners and drowned on the couch

no clouds were surrounding when id go to the grill
just pounding the brownies and my hopes were fulfilled
and it wasnt until this someone i liked
had opened a world id struggled to find

had me strung on a line the moment we spoke
and hung out to dry with the clothing she chose
soon probing in hope when i'd go to ask her
but sugar-coating her no's in the phone booth chatter

but a whole new chapter of effort begun
as so soon after i went for a run
now my quest had become to get into shape
the pressure eased up as i stepped in the race

my attention would change to know all my reps
benching the weights and the tone would be set
holding and stretching, aligning my squats
i noticed momentum with each mile i jogged

the weight was piling off, just to skip on the spot
it blew my mind a lot as to how easy it was
as it hit my conscience, i would propel at last
only admitting my problem was all that held me back
