Right now the world looks so exciting But that first rung it feels so cold The air up there looks so inviting You'll do the rest when you are old
The printed pictures, they stain your hands It's like a memory you don't own The architecture of your grand plan Designed to put you on a throne The bitter taste of the unknown
I'll tell you for nothing You're not the only one singing singing Trying to bring to life your dreams I'll tell you for nothing You're not the only one who believes
I don't know if you're gonna make it How many girls you're gonna know I don't know if you'll pay your dad back With front row tickets to the show Right now your snare drum is a trash can Your bedroom shadows are your stage Your old best friend he is your one fan He'll watch the light inside your face
I'll tell you for nothing You're not the only one singing singing Trying to bring to life your dreams I'll tell you for nothing You're not the only one who believes
I'll tell you for nothing You're not the only one singing singing Trying to bring to life your dreams I'll tell you for nothing You're not the only one who believes
I'll tell you for nothing You're not the only one singing singing Trying to bring to life your dreams I'll tell you for nothing You're not the only one fading away
