It started out with a dream
In retrospect, maybe I was a little bit naive
The world extended its hand
It sat me down and said to "shut up and just trust my plan"
If change is necessary I understand
But my head seems to be trapped between the palms of my hands
It's just that I'm no longer
Who I was one year younger
While I feel so stuck
Everything is moving faster and I
I guess it's best for me to change my old ways
But when I look in the mirror
I think I've been replaced
I'll take my Tylenol, yeah
Cause my head is dying from the pressure to know who I am
They say it's natural, yeah
How hypocritical that no one seems to understand
(Two, three, four)
Got a pocket full of posies picking away at my brain every day because
Passion doesn't pay bills
Wish the world cared more about life than
How high your pockets have to be filled
I'm fighting myself to be more free than a trial
But I guess this head of mine will hurt for a while
I'm no longer
Who I was one year younger
While I feel so stuck
Everything is moving faster and I
I guess it's best for me to change my old ways
But when I look in the mirror
I think I've been replaced
Maybe growth cannot happen
If it isn't for change
Maybe I wouldn't be here
If it wasn't for pain
Maybe we're not supposed to (I'm just afraid)
Stay the same
Maybe I'm just afraid to change (I think I'm just afraid)
I'm no longer
Who I was one year younger (I'm afraid to change)
While I feel so stuck
Everything is moving faster and I (I'm afraid to change)
I guess it's best for me to change my old ways
But when I look in the mirror
I think I've been replaced (I think that I've been replaced)
