How I longed to be someone else before I knew who I was
Quiet hallways and whispers on the school bus
Fine houses and gardens, warm bike rides in the summertime
It was a small town with the big city lights
We looked at each other from afar
Surviving did the fittest of them all
Being young isn't easy, being young isn't fair
You think you're better off if you weren't there
Gravitation hits differently when you're all grown up
You're constantly checking reality now again
It's like running in water
It's like staring into the sun
It's like going close to the borders
But never crossing anyone
Detours home from school
Hoping I'd run away
Running to you
I always knew you never really ran into me too
Paper perfect then picture fine
As I'm older I'm afraid of heights
Maybe it's cause I'm taller just for the fall
Cause you're 15 and you don't know where you start
And it all ends
Hiding behind a fake smile
Don't give them something to use against
Paper perfect then picture fine
As I'm older I'm afraid of heights
Maybe it's cause I'm taller just for the fall
Gravitation hits differently when you're all grown up
You're constantly checking reality
Now get me out
It's like running in water
It's like staring into the sun
It's like going close to the borders
But never crossing anyone
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
