Youth

Youth is a weird thing
Youth is a weird time
It's where all our dreams seem to come alive
The only problems then were growing up to be living up to expectations
Tell me I'm not the only one who had those dreams like I'm gonna be an astronaut or I'm gonna be a scientist or I'm gonna be something
Something to somebody
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be something
Something in somebody's eyes

I wanna be
I'm gonna be standing tall
I'm gonna be
I wanna be something other than me

Youth was a weird thing
Such a crazy time
The wheelie seats
The dodge-ball games
Running around the block
Sitting alone
Home all alone
Nothing but party time
The only expectation then was to live your life
Make all the friends
Do all the things that all the kids did
Say I wanna be a sports star
I wanna have it all
I wanna be
Ooh I wanna be
I wanna be an actress
I wanna be a singer
I wanna be center stage spotlight living everyone's dream
I wanna be a winner
I wanna do it all
I wanna be something to show them all I'm somebody

I wanna be
I'm gonna be standing tall
I'm gonna be
I wanna be something other than me.

Growing up isn't how we wanted it to be
Everything is not what it seems
When we were all younger
It was all fun and games
Like we would have it all
But we don't have it all
We would be the people we all wanted to be
We would own it all
I wanted to be a rock star
I wanted to have it all
I wanted to be what they all wanted me to be
I wanted to be something in somebody's eyes
But now I wanna be just me
