make believe
Standing on my childhood mattress
Never been this close to the ceiling before
Wondering if I'll always act this way
Or if someday I'll finally yearn for something more
Sitting on the carpet thinking about the days
That I either loved this or wished my life away
Maybe if I pretend things will never change
It'll be much easier to watch you walk away
Cause I'll never know what it's like to be a kid
I'll never feel the way you always did
I've never felt so free
I've never run the streets
Never pushed my limits
Will I ever know who I'll be?
Or will I keep on playing make believe
Staring out the window, watch the cars go by
Thinking 'bout the fact that you've never seen me cry
If I keep my guard up, will you still wanna stay?
Or will you see right through me and look the other way?
Cause I'll never know what it's like to be a kid
I'll never feel the way you always did
I've never felt so free
I've never run the streets
Never pushed my limits
Will I ever know who I'll be?
Or will I keep on playing make believe
But you have
Shown me
That I am the only one in my way
I am stronger than I've ever known
How much longer will it take for
The rest of it to show?
Cause I'll never know what it's like to be a kid
I'll never feel the way you always did
But you made me feel so free
We ran the streets together
Let me push my limits
Think I like what I see
Life is but a movie, and we're playing make believe
Never been this close to the ceiling before
Wondering if I'll always act this way
Or if someday I'll finally yearn for something more
Sitting on the carpet thinking about the days
That I either loved this or wished my life away
Maybe if I pretend things will never change
It'll be much easier to watch you walk away
Cause I'll never know what it's like to be a kid
I'll never feel the way you always did
I've never felt so free
I've never run the streets
Never pushed my limits
Will I ever know who I'll be?
Or will I keep on playing make believe
Staring out the window, watch the cars go by
Thinking 'bout the fact that you've never seen me cry
If I keep my guard up, will you still wanna stay?
Or will you see right through me and look the other way?
Cause I'll never know what it's like to be a kid
I'll never feel the way you always did
I've never felt so free
I've never run the streets
Never pushed my limits
Will I ever know who I'll be?
Or will I keep on playing make believe
But you have
Shown me
That I am the only one in my way
I am stronger than I've ever known
How much longer will it take for
The rest of it to show?
Cause I'll never know what it's like to be a kid
I'll never feel the way you always did
But you made me feel so free
We ran the streets together
Let me push my limits
Think I like what I see
Life is but a movie, and we're playing make believe
