I've been around for a little over 20 years
|
And to anyone who needs advice on getting here
|
Don't ask me, the path i took was not exactly by the book, by the book
|
I was too young to know and too dumb to figure out
|
That you can lose yourself in all this traveling around
|
When you reach a point of no return losing touch with lessons learned, lessons learned
|
Let me tell you now where i went wrong
|
Hollywood is just another place i don't belong
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Let's go to the middle where time stands still
|
Let's get lost in those hills
|
Live a little closer to what is true
|
I'll be me and you be you
|
|
I'm finding out the ways of this world
|
Can be overcome with one boy's love for just one girl
|
And the only way to love yourself is to give your love to someone else, someone else
|
Don't believe ineverything you hear
|
Growing up is more than just living through the years
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I'm disappointed in myself
|
I left you on a shelf that i could never reach
|
I practiced what you'd always preached against
|
But now i'm back in my defense
|
That black and white world we tried to paint is really gray
|
|
So it took a little time to get this right
|
The guilty and the innocent are always side by side
|
|
[Chorus]
|
