Right now the world looks so exciting

But that first rung it feels so cold

The air up there looks so inviting

You'll do the rest when you are old

The printed pictures they stain your hands

It's like a memory you don't own

The architecture of your grand plans

Designed to put you on the throne

The bitter taste of the unknown

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing

Trying to bring to life your dreams

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes

I don't know if you're gonna make it

How many girls you're gonna know

I don't know if you'll pay your dad back

With front row tickets to your show

Right now your snare drum is a trash can

Your bedroom shadows are your stage

Your old best friend he is your one fan

He'll watch the light inside you fade

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing

Trying to bring to life your dreams

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing

Trying to bring to life your dreams

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing

Trying to bring to life your dreams

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing

Trying to bring to life your dreams

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one fading away
