Young and strong, the voice of my father said,
“Don’t give up, don’t be forgotten.”
It’s hell on earth.
I just wanna run away.
They told me, “Dreams don’t grow from here,
Stay alone.
Count your fears.”
Somewhere down the line I might figure it out.
Singing all my songs to bedroom walls.
Deep inside my heart I’m still here.
We’re always running away
And we don’t even stop to think about it,
The world’s in our hands,
Yeah!
They don’t need to understand,
We do it our own way,
No matter what they try to say about it,
We’ve got our own plans,
Yeah!
They don’t need to understand.
They don’t need to understand.
What made me tough, almost killed me,
At least that’s how I remember the story.
Over the years I’ve forgotten how it was.
But I survived and I won’t walk down
The same old road that they all follow,
It only leads to a life not meant for me.
Singing all my songs to bedroom walls.
Deep inside my heart I’m still here.
We’re always running away
And we don’t even stop to think about it,
The world’s in our hands,
Yeah!
They don’t need to understand,
We do it our own way,
No matter what they try to say about it,
We’ve got our own plans,
Yeah!
They don’t need to understand.
Streets of my hometown seem strange now,
They feel like a distant memory.
I’m always fighting ‘cause I know you’re trying,
But you can never take this dream from me.
We’re always running away
And we don’t even stop to think about it,
The world’s in our hands,
Yeah!
They don’t need to understand,
We do it our own way,
No matter what they try to say about it,
We’ve got our own plans,
Yeah!
They don’t need to understand.
They don’t need to understand,
They don’t need to understand.
