(Consider this)

The smartest person I know
Was worried that they don’t fit in
When everyone’s running this way
They’re always running that way
The smartest person I know
Was worried about their career
Their work was once important
Now it’s empty and redundant

And when they mentioned something ‘bout a fifth wheel

I told the smartest person I know:
“Big wheels turn real slow
When you finally get a bone to throw
There’s no dog around to catch it
The trouble with you is your life
You’re awkward because you’re normal
You’re worthlessly over-qualified
And hopelessly hopeful
The trouble with you is you’re right
You’re the smartest person I know
That’s why you feel like fifth wheel."

The trouble with you is you’re right
Isn’t that most inspiring?
Really such a comfort
Useful and encouraging
The trouble with you is you’re right
And the smartest person you know
Also probably feels like a fifth wheel
