Exactly

(专辑： 37 Everywhere - 2006)

I am awake
Finally unafraid
My dues are paid
Gone are the days I displayed

No rhyme because good times could go too quickly
No reason pleased only by love
No understanding of this human species
But where I was
Begged a why with no because

Now I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become
And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong

I feel like I reflect as if I've entered yesteryear
When just yesterday I appeared to be
Somebody with no fears
Of ever growing up
I loved being stuck
Sometimes I wish I was there

No rhyme because good times could go too quickly
No reason pleased only by love
No understanding of this human species
But where I was
Begged a why with no because

Now I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become
And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong

Life's not over
It's finally mine to own
My fears of the fall are gone
I had no idea
Still just me now
Anticipation of the worst was simply wrong

Yeah I was afraid
I was afraid I'd become just like them
Now just the fear of growing up and becoming that
It almost killed me

'Cause I had some plans when I was a kid
I made some promises to myself
Promises I began to feel I couldn't deliver on as I grew older

But you know what?
looking back
I love that hopeful kid
Enough to prove to him
That nothing can take away that hope
nothing can take away his vision
And just because my world is dead
I came to fight to that noble end
Gonna keep my eyes wide,
walk outside
stay myself inside

And I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become (And I belong)
And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong (And I belong)

And I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become (And I belong)
And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong (And I belong)
