All I need is a walking cane, to guide me on my way
A hat to push away the rain, that would be okay
Starting over to begin, I'm standing here to strong
I never thought I'd ever see it all
I stand to tall, but I shrink away,
I never thought I'd feel as good as the way I feel today
So I'll run away, 'cause things aren't quite going my way
Run away from yesterday, tomorrow we'll be free
I slipped today but that's okay, I need a new routine
Those who live and those who die,
Shining like the sun, all trying to peak over the wall
I stand to tall, but I shrink away,
I never thought I'd feel as good as the way I feel today
(Chorus) When I turned on MTV,
I saw just what I wanted to be
But that was yesterday and things aren't quite going my way
