All I Wanna Be

I just wanna live forever
Shine so bright and never die
Dance across the world beneath me
Or at least say I tried
So I pray for something better
See it when I close my eyes
Count my blessings 'till I get there
After such a lonely ride

Through the gears of this machine
These California dreams
And turn me into who I'm supposed to be
The face on every screen
The captain of the team
This town will make me wait forever

All I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
More than a number they won't remember
All I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
More than a heartbeat walking the same street
So baby, let's run 'till our tears are dry
'Till the spark in our soul is electrified
Singing ooo, ooo
'Cause all I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
Is more, more, more

Know I've heard a million reasons
I should turn and walk away
Count my chips and leave the table
But the hurt just makes me stay
They say time will tell the story
I ain't got no crystal ball
But hand to God, I hope it's worth it
Pick the lock, I've gotta break through

Through the gears of this machine
These California dreams
And turn me into who I'm supposed to be
The face on every screen
The captain of the team
This town will make me wait forever

All I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
More than a number they won't remember
All I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
More than a heartbeat walking the same street
So baby, let's run 'till our tears are dry
'Till the spark in our soul is electrified
Singing ooo, ooo
'Cause all I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
Is more, more, more

If I had the keys to forever, would I last a day?
If the game was set to beginner, would I even play?
I could waste a life time pretending I could walk away
How long will you make me beg?

All I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
More than a number they won't remember
All I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
More than a heartbeat walking the same street
So baby, let's run 'till our tears are dry
'Till the spark in our soul is electrified
Singing ooo, ooo (Singing ooo, ooo)
'Cause all I wanna be, all I wanna be
All I ever wanna be, baby, is more
