Lyrics Bayside – Howard

Mr. Hughes, how are you? I know it’s been awhile
But I’ve been dying trying to catch your brilliant smile
People like us, we are always misunderstood
Though there’s ups and downs the bad outshines the good

Howard you’re a 10 but
I’m not sure this ends well
Hold it close to your heart

Whatever happened to Howard Hughes?
I guess life wasn’t good to you
You gave it all you got and still they threw you out for being you
Even with our success we’re as good as dead
Our worst critics were in our heads
Society don’t accept me or you and all our friends agree

People say we’re done for we’re liabilities
But I bought property on the thin line between genius and insanity
You wrote the books on brains and wealth and looks, ahead of both our times
Free thinkers only thrive in history books

Howard you’re a 10 but
I’m not sure this ends well
Hold it close to your heart

Whatever happened to Howard Hughes?
I guess life wasn’t good to you
You gave it all you got and still they threw you out for being you
Even with our success we’re as good as dead
Our worst critics were in our heads
Society don’t accept me or you and all our friends agree

Howard, my dear, was it films and planes that made you this way?
Howard, my dear, they’ve spoke and we’re jokes

Howard you’re a 10 but
I’m not sure this ends well

Whatever happened to Howard Hughes?
I guess life wasn’t good to you
You gave it all you got and still they threw you out for being you
Even with our success we’re as good as dead
Our worst critics were in our heads
Society don’t accept me or you and all our friends agree
