I've been around for a little over 20 years And to anyone who needs advice on getting
here Don't ask me the path I took
It's not exactly by the book, by the book I was too young to know and too dumb to figure
out But you can't lose yourself in all this traveling
And you reach a point with no return Losing touch with lessons learned, lessons learned
Let me tell you now where I went wrong Hollywood is just another place I don't belong
Let's go to the middle where time stands still And let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true And I'll be me, and you'll be you
I'm finding out the ways of this world Can be overcome with one boy's love for just
one girl And the only way to love yourself
Giving love to someone else, someone else I don't believe in everything you hear
Growing up is more than simply living through the years
Let's go to the middle where time stands still And let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true And I'll be me, and you'll be you
I'm disappointed in myself I left you on a shelf
But I could never reach And I practiced what you always preached against
Now I'm back in my defense All that black and white
We tried the paint, we agreed So it took a little time to get this right
The guilty and the innocent are always side by side
Let's go to the middle where time stands still And let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true And I'll be me, and you'll be you
I'll be me, and you'll be you And I'll be me, and you'll be you
And I'll be me, and you'll be you
