Like a star with a blue moon rising You complain but you keep surprising yourself Like a dog who's been kicked all over You tried to quit but you can't stop kicking yourself It's the truth - it's a lie - love will never die
Don't you see it's like tryin' to climb out of your skin You're like a butterfly fighting the wind Don't you see it's like tryin' to climb out of your skin
You shut down tried to not be special Lights were off but someone's always been home May as well not resist temptation Plug yourself in the wall and light up the town Time is up - it's alive - take this dream and drive
Don't you see it's like tryin' to climb out of your skin You're like a butterfly fighting the wind Don't you see it's like tryin' to climb out of your skin
Climb way up to the ground Slide on up to slide down It's the truth - it's a lie - love will never die It's the best you can buy - might be worth a try Make a wish take a dive - don't just stay alive You'll do more than survive - take this dream and drive
Don't you see it's like tryin' to climb out of your skin You're like a butterfly fighting the wind Don't you see it's like tryin' to climb out of your skin
