I don't wanna mess up so I don't even try
I'm too scared of failure so I let life slip through my fingers
It's passing me by
I'd like to play in the puddles but I don't wanna get wet
Should I tell her the way I feel or be afraid of what I might regret?
I don't wanna hurt myself so I try to forget
About taking risks and far-out chances, attempting things I haven't done yet.
That's just the way life usually seems to unfold
I am fearful of the story I know my heart is supposed to hold
There’s no one to stop this pouring, I'm inside, don't know why I'm so cold
But I'm sitting wishing I was living my dreams
Reminisce instead of missing that's the way it ought to be.
Yeah, when I'm old.
Got to fly high instead of always doing what you’re told
Just trying to get by in this crazy world
Watching the sun shine through the rain
Knowing you might just be fooling yourself
As those tears drop down your window’s pain
Try to hold ‘em back but they fall all the same
Why won’t you follow your dreams
You can’t wash them away
It’s the chance you should take ‘cause your life is at stake
What else is there to break? It is really just what you make
It’s time you awake (7x)
