Trent Dilfer For A Year

from Everything Louder Than Everything Else by Oscar Bait

/

about

This is a song about making the most of unmet expectations. If you have an interesting life, a lot of the time you’re going to have to wrestle with some pretty serious weirdness around the would haves/could haves/should haves as your reality unfolds. I’ve found it important to retain a childlike wonder and optimism and always keep my eyes on the prize in terms of staying dynamic and reinventing myself when the wheels fall off. I’ve always been fascinated with how NFL-sort-of-great-turned-broadcaster Trent Dilfer navigated this process, and so this song is written in part from his perspective.

lyrics

In another year // you won’t remember who I am // but I’ll be back // holding pattern, circle and I’ll land // ‘cause I’ve been building bridges // bridges that are strong and will never burn // and I’ve been making big plans // ‘cause some stones still might turn // shower me with praise I don’t deserve // call me a hero, let me know I’m being heard // I’m going places you should know // an old child’s wonder left long ago // it’s a quiet place // for a man who thought he could be great // and now I’m lying on the couch again // trying to climb down another day // I’ll read The Good Book, I’ll study tape // I swear I’ll go to Disney World for real this time to dull the pain // send me back for another college try // or take me out of here and bring me back to life
