All my life I’ve been fighting a war I can’t talk to you or your friends It’s not only you My heart jumps around when I’m eluded to This will not do     Cause I was raised up to be admired to be noticed But when you’re withdrawn it’s the closest thing To a someone who lies around you This will not do            (4x) I’m thinking glory Lick my lips toss my hair And send a smile over And the story brand new I can take it from here I’ll find my own bravado          It’s a switch flipped It’s a pill tipped back It’s a moon eclipsed oh And I can tell that when the lights come on I’ll be ready for this It’s in your bloodstream A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes It’s a marathon run or a (inaudible) without making a sound I was frightened of every little thing that I thought was out to get me down To trip me up and laugh at me But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room And the one around to find me out I want the applause the approval the things that make me go oh
