| [00:14.50][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:14.78] |
Yeah, once upon a time not long ago, |
| [00:17.21] |
My grandmother told me one day I’d change |
| [00:19.07] |
I felt like she was coming down on me |
| [00:21.03] |
So I told her no, I’d be the same |
| [00:22.97] |
Not knowing she was only trying to help |
| [00:24.89] |
Motivate me to excel and climb |
| [00:26.74] |
I was thinking she was the one trapped |
| [00:28.72] |
While I was stuck in the cage of my mind |
| [00:30.68] |
Man if I would’ve known what I know now |
| [00:32.62] |
I would have brought my head down out of that cloud |
| [00:34.70] |
Told her thank you and that I loved her |
| [00:36.40] |
But I was too cool and too damn proud |
| [00:38.24] |
What a fool I was in fact |
| [00:40.10] |
I’ve changed so much, now looking back |
| [00:42.03] |
I wish somebody I thought was cool |
| [00:43.82] |
Was cool as she was when she told me that |
| [00:45.78][Hook] |
|
| [00:45.93] |
I see you, the real you |
| [00:49.19] |
Trying to cover up what’s inside of you |
| [00:52.56] |
But everything you do, is make believe |
| [00:56.78] |
Yeah you’re hot, but you’re too cool |
| [00:59.59] |
I see you! |
| [01:07.17] |
I see you! |
| [01:14.97] |
I see you! |
| [01:18.41][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:18.56] |
Baby girl don’t know much about |
| [01:20.89] |
What it would take to become a star |
| [01:22.27] |
Hollywood is so far fetched |
| [01:24.13] |
Too long of a drive in an old car |
| [01:26.04] |
Work every day but you barely eat |
| [01:27.87] |
Going over lines from a script you read |
| [01:29.87] |
Your boyfriend said it’s a silly dream |
| [01:31.53] |
But how can you dream when you never sleep |
| [01:33.79] |
You’re looking in the mirror and you’re picturing a light show |
| [01:38.37] |
A glimpse in the lens of a camera |
| [01:40.19] |
Behind the scenes of life as a tightrope |
| [01:42.23] |
Yea you walk a thin line |
| [01:43.79] |
But a thin line is all you need |
| [01:45.78] |
A thin line in an Indy movie |
| [01:47.66] |
Just a break for somebody to see the |
| [01:49.55] |
Talent inside, the ballad of a diary you write |
| [01:52.61] |
The by and by is just another day for a normal girl |
| [01:55.37] |
But for you it’s another day that you tried |
| [01:57.44] |
Aside from the fact that you ride in the back of a bus |
| [01:59.73] |
Sometimes cause your car won’t work |
| [02:01.57] |
Well maybe you should take that bus to L.A. |
| [02:03.25] |
And put your dreams first because… |
| [02:05.20][Hook] |
|
| [02:05.25] |
I see you, the real you |
| [02:08.87] |
Trying to cover up what’s inside of you |
| [02:12.36] |
But everything you do, is make believe |
| [02:16.41] |
Yeah you’re hot, but you’re too cool |
| [02:19.41] |
I see you! |
| [02:27.01] |
I see you! |
| [02:34.47] |
I see you! |
| [02:36.20][Verse 3] |
|
| [02:36.46] |
Black and white, everything is black and white |
| [02:38.45] |
Broke down, simple and plain |
| [02:39.84] |
Most of us lost with a curious brain |
| [02:41.84] |
Curiosity is looked at as strange |
| [02:43.68] |
Stuck in a lane, but you can’t complain |
| [02:45.42] |
While you look at another passing train |
| [02:47.40] |
Wondering how, where’s it going? |
| [02:49.38] |
Wishing you were inside, packed and rolling |
| [02:51.38] |
To another place, but your time is chosen |
| [02:53.08] |
To live low key, ‘cause your dream is stolen |
| [02:55.13] |
They don’t understand, they believe in loathing |
| [02:57.30] |
Lounging, loafing, waiting, hoping |
| [02:59.07] |
Homie if the grass is greener |
| [03:01.13] |
Look, the gate is open |
| [03:02.94] |
You’re waiting for God to release the ocean |
| [03:04.88] |
Sitting on the beach two feet from floating |
| [03:06.73] |
But I see you.. |
| [03:08.67][Hook] |
|
| [03:08.82] |
I see you, the real you |
| [03:12.01] |
Trying to cover up what’s inside of you |
| [03:15.65] |
But everything you do, is make believe |
| [03:19.51] |
Yeah you’re hot, but you’re too cool |
| [03:22.39] |
I see you! |
| [03:29.81] |
I see you! |
| [03:36.76] |
I see you! |
| [03:39.47] |
