Mike Daab and Jeff Harper do dual vocal leads on this one. It's the most energized song off the record.

Aggression and logic. For more than a year, Cherry Lane was a rock and roll force to be reckoned with. Formed from the ashes of the rock groups 21 Union Square and Girl Named Megan, Cherry Lane pushed the art of forceful music; their words rallied for strength in difficulty. Cherry Lane's former members have moved on with their lives. Mike is married and has been attending college. Jeff plays in Computer Science now and again. Jared now runs Thinker Thought Records and tours with Scouts Honor and The Forecast. Cherry Lane's live show was definitely one to see and hear. We pray that you did not miss your chance do so.

Story behind the song
This song's title fit the band perfectly. It was named after the drummer's "fake id" in which he was a 24-year-old named Tommy. The song is about facing up to failure and unrealistic expectations.
Lyrics
Can you see the pain I feel when you say to me that I'm no good? And when you say to me I'm not good enough, I have to wonder how much more it's going to take. 'Cause you've locked me in and built walls. Set boundaries that I can't fit. As you've set expectations I've been trying to meet. Now I realize that it's all out of reach for me. But, I've tried and I want to make things right. How do you expect me to stand up straight? How do you expect me to bear the weight? And I tried, and fought.
