My mother's afraid of the subway
|
It's a living bad dream
|
I hold her hand as the doors close
|
And she pales and stifles a scream
|
Ali's afraid of Ad-libbing
|
Of improvising at jams
|
She is not very happy right now
|
And spends all her money on grams
|
Ade is afraid of commitment
|
So Carla dumped him today
|
She is very disappointed
|
She was hoping he'd beg her to stay
|
Ayo he just wants a girlfriend
|
He's afraid of dying alone
|
He doesn't go out very much
|
Sits at home a lot getting stoned
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You see fear is only holding us back
|
Look closely amongst all your peers
|
There is usually one thing that keeps
|
Us off track
|
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
|
|
Ella is worried about her weight
|
She won't eat in public anymore
|
She is fucking her ex again
|
When they've finished
|
She sleeps on the floor
|
Nate has a heart of gold
|
But give it away he will not
|
His mother abandoned him at ten
|
It's a pain he has never forgot
|
Mary's afraid of herself
|
Her sentences often cut half
|
She will never give her own opinion
|
She's afraid that people might laugh
|
And I am afraid of sharks
|
I will not swim out past my head
|
And sometimes I worry
|
My boyfriend will die
|
My first love is already dead
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
You see fear is only holding us back
|
Look closely amongst all your peers
|
There is usually one thing that keeps
|
Us off track
|
It is fear, It is fear, It is fear
|
|
Candy is having a baby
|
She fears she will be like her mom
|
Her friends say relax take a
|
Deep breath
|
And march to a different drum
|
Sachas afraid of her Marco
|
She think's that it's all her fault
|
But if he did what he does to a
|
Stranger
|
He'd be locked up and charged
|
With assault
|
|
[Chorus]
|
