The way you look at me
It’s clear to see
You don’t understand.
I wonder who you’ll be,
And if you’ll need
Someone to hold your hand.
I wouldn’t try to leave,
But you make me so unsure
Of my own plans.
So, I will plant this seed
And hope that it withstands.
But then you call me what I am:
A false prophet of adulthood.
You tell me, “Come down from that stand,
Your promises are no good.”
‘Cause I am bold, but I am broken.
And the world is at my feet.
I am loud and I have spoken
With every word, my heart still beats.
It cries, “I am!”
It shouts, “I speak!”
And, though I’m dizzy
From the heights of your deceit,
I’m on my feet.
So, tell me where we go?
Is this a low
You never thought you’d reach?
I’ll keep you even though
I may never know
The lesson it will teach.
And when it’s getting cold,
And you’re out there
On your own two feet.
Let me be your home,
There’s comfort in the peace.
Until you call me what I am:
A false prophet of adulthood.
You tell me, “Come down from that stand,
Your promises are no good.”
‘Cause I am bold, but I am broken.
And the world is at my feet.
I am loud and I have spoken
With every word, my heart still beats.
It cries, “I am!”
It shouts, “I speak!”
And, though I’m dizzy
From the heights of your deceit,
I’m on my feet.
And in an instant you’re gone,
Like you got nothing left to tell.
But I guess time flies by
When you’re young and in love
With yourself.
So I will own to what I am:
A false prophet of adulthood.
And I will come down from this stand,
Though my promises will hold good.
‘Cause I am bold and I am broken.
And the world is at my feet.
I am loud and I have spoken
Too many words that I can’t keep.
I’ll cry, “I am!”
I’ll shout, “I speak!”
And, when I’m dizzy
From the heights of your deceit,
I’ll find my feet.
