I LOOK AWAY FOR A SECOND
AND A YEAR'S GONE BY
AND I REALIZE
HOW LONG I'VE BEEN ALIVE
BACK IN THE DAY, AS A KID
I COULDN'T FATHOM HOW I'D
LIVE A LIFE
BEFORE I KILLED THE LIGHTS
BUT NOW I'M HERE…
YOU'D THINK THAT I'D BE OVER IT BY NOW
BUT MY PROBLEMS KEEP MUTATING
IT'S GETTING FRUSTRATING
REACHING MY GOALS WAS A MERE MIRAGE
AND NOW I'M STUCK HERE SELF-SABOTAGING
EVEN THOUGH I'M WHERE I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T BE…
YOU'RE SO YOUNG
YOU'RE SO GRAND
I'M NOT OLD
BUT I'M BLAND
IF I COULD
I'D GET A SECOND CHANCE
AND GO BACK IN TIME
I'D FINALLY
MAKE A CHANGE
TAKE AWAY
ALL MY PAIN
AND THAT WAY
I COULD AT LEAST BE HALF AS GOOD AS YOU TODAY…
(I COULD AT LEAST BE HALF AS GOOD AS YOU TODAY)
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE
TO BE IRRATIONAL
WITH HOW I SEE
THE GAP BETWEEN YOU AND ME
'CAUSE SOME ARE BORN WITH A GIFT
TO BE A NATURAL
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT WE WON'T GET THERE, EVENTUALLY
WHERE WOULD I BE
WITHOUT THESE THOUGHTS INSIDE ME
WINGS SPREAD IN THE LIMELIGHT
FLYING TOWARDS SOME NEW HEIGHTS
BUT-- FEELS TOO HEAVY
BUT THEY'RE TOO LIGHT TO KILL ME
EVEN SO, I'M WHERE I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T BE…
YOU'RE SO YOUNG
YOU'RE SO GRAND
I'M NOT OLD
BUT I'M BLAND
IF I COULD
I'D GET A SECOND CHANCE
AND GO BACK IN TIME
I'D FINALLY
MAKE A CHANGE
TAKE AWAY
ALL MY PAIN
AND THAT WAY56
I COULD AT LEAST BE HALF AS GOOD AS YOU TODAY…
