When I was a boy of seventeen
I know it's mean but I

I told my friend to give up on her dreams
She hated me but I

I knew the dreams were for the best of us
and for the rest of us

And I
I didn't wanna share with anyone

I need a way to see my greatest dance
and make 'em laugh

I could win the wars or lose the battles, too
Whichever's true

I can live in other people's lives
I can't stop putting on other peoples' clothes

I love them 'til I leave

I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for

I am a hot air balloon
On a sailboat
I wouldn't make this my home
If I'd learned to float

So take my trash
Just take my earthly life
I'll try to cry

I will live without the things I love the best
So hold them to your chest

I lose my face
Just lose my stolen wigs
The heads of kings

I run until I know what to believe
