lyrics

I’m just a boy in an ordinary world
Me and mom and dad
We don’t have a reason to be sad
In our world, where nothing seems to change
Morning, noon, and night
Day to day it always stays the same
I’m living in a dream
Relishing the ignorance of childhood and possibility

Boy, you’re a gem, your eyes are wide and bright
If only they could understand
The world you know is changing overnight
It’s the truth and you will come to find
The things that make you sad
Might be the only things that never leave your side
I want to run and hide
Once we pull the shade you’ll feel
A difference when the tears come to your eyes

Please don’t tell me
That we’re leaving 'cause
I don’t want to know the feeling of
Hours spent that I repent
Believing all that I’ve been seeing

Son, the time has come
From here you’re on your own
Welcome to the hardest thing
From which your soul will grow
Pack your things, let’s go
Hide in your headphones
Every note and lyric spoke
Will mend your aching soul

Say goodbye

I’ll play the fool act like world ain’t upside down
If you’ll let me off the ground
I’ll be the pawn and walk the line to ease your doubt
I know I’m not getting out

I don’t think you want the best for me
Drowning in your insecurity
Standing on my head to catch your breath
Reach out for the life preserver
And take your weight up off my shoulders
Tell everyone you saved yourself

Lean your head back, try to relax
Never let them own your reflex
Forward motion, magic potions
Solving all your deepest quotients

Psychedelia, let me feel the
Aches in all your safest places
Moving through you, as you come to
Realizing what life has brought you

Take the driver's seat and turn the key
To set your mind and heart free
Your cognition craves ignition
Shed your given disposition

No one owns you, they won’t show you
Right from wrong or love they owe you
It’s your coffin, that’s a promise
Save yourself or you won’t stop this

I’m just a boy and as I start to age
The ordinary world I knew
Becomes a crumpled torn and tattered page
It’s abused, embodied by the lines
I can barely read them
Though the margin still stayed sewn into the spine
