about

"Fooling Yourself" is an upbeat, driving rock song with dynamic guitar and piano interplay and a cool coda; lyrically it's about a person who can't see in themselves what is obvious to everyone else.

lyrics

Wearing glasses in the dark / Won’t help you see better
Pretty girls in the park / Won’t make you forget her
Reading all the news / Won’t change a bit of weather
You’ll be well informed / But you’ll still be getting wetter

You’re just fooling yourself / Think you got it goin’ on
Makes me feel sorry that / You think there’s nothin’ wrong
You’re just fooling yourself / But not me

Living in the city / where there’s people in their millions
Payin’ all the bills / with percentages of billions
A thousand times / up and down / in the elevator
You never said a word to her / Not even “see you later”

<Chorus>

<instr>

You’re just fooling yourself / Think you got it goin’ on
Look up from your mirror / You’ll see everybody’s gone
And no amount of yelling / From the bottom of the net
In all caps bolded / Will make anyone forget

<Chorus>
