Boy Wonder from Wheelie? by The Michael Character

My first trip to a psychologist
I played with blocks and chatted with the doctor
She told my mom that I was brilliant
I was so eloquent for a five year old

**Chorus
I used to be a boy wonder
Now I've become a man under pressure
To be a notable something
But I'm just alright at some things

I was the sage of cabin B12
The summer I turned 13 years old
The kids all thought I was a genius
I talked about white dwarfs and black holes

**Chorus

Turned up in The Space when I was 18
Cut perfect rectangles with a jigsaw
Got taken under some old wings
Who said my carpentry would go far

**Chorus

22 teaching high school
Even my students couldn't believe it
It was impressive for a man so young
But what happens when you turn back the pages
Of my tabletop calendar
'Till suddenly hearing "sir" doesn't sound like a mistake anymore

**Chorus

So now I'm turning 25 in New England
Same old job
Same old apartment
Same disregard
For taking new risks
I should have been something by now
I should have done something by now
I should have helped someone by now
I should have called my mom by now
I should have practiced guitar by now
I should have been a notable something
But I'm just alright
