Ever since I was a little kid I knew what I wanted But I was a bit shy so I never ever flaunted haunted me all my life like a ghost in the night but I wasn’t afraid to leave the closet open wide
& growing up gets a little tough when the kids are all mean & they’re leaving you out & they’re saying that you’re not enough but you’re gonna get through this see what the truth is the cool kids from the past are gonna be biting their tongues
Oh yes, I know I’m young but I know things won’t come if I don’t try time really isn’t on my side What’s gonna happen tomorrow?
But right now I’m breathing, I’m alive I’d rather seize it all & thrive than reach the day I die wish I’d have done it before cause
Life is short, life is short So I’m gonna do what I want I’m gonna do what I want with it [x2]
Now I’m looking to the future, learning from the past & the present is a present but it isn’t meant to last in the fast lane with the fast pass screaming my name don’t forget it you’re gonna regret it cause you letting me go, a damn
shame on you, you didn’t believe it before claim that you could read all the signs on the door fame was something that was inevitable I bet you wish you could touch me now
but I’m high up in a sky with a thousand stars lies were being told & creating scars & I know why cause all the hurt has taken me far the haters & the naysayers are gonna be wishing they’d swung
Oh yes, I know I’m young but I’ve learned that it’s worth it when you try cause you’ve gotta fall a thousand times before you die you gotta live through the sorrow
See the forest for the trees & be able to find the reason for the letters & the words that never rhyme Cause when it is your time, you’re gonna wish you’d have done it before
[chorus]
starting over now starting over now before it’s over now over now, now now
