I'll Still Be Me

If I told you all I want from this life

Is to fly on a rocket into the moonlight

Would you say, would you say it’s just fine

Or would you tell everyone I’ve gone out of my mind?

If I told you I don’t want the money

Success isn’t in fame or fortune to me

What I desire is to play with fire

Would you call the doctor and say I’ve gone crazy?

Truth be told I don’t want to be

Life’s lame current

I want magical colors, I want bursting ecstasy

From adventure and curiosity

So if you want to tell everyone

I’m not your child

If you want to tell everyone

My mind’s gone wild

I’ll let you tell everyone

But I will enjoy how beautiful this world can be

I’ll let you tell everyone

But I’ll still be me

If I ran away into the flaring sunset

A scene so romantic you wouldn’t forget

Would you follow or would you say go?

Isn’t it sad that I surely don’t know?

If I ran away into the golden prairie

Where the cattails are as tall as a tree

Would you ask someone where I am

Or would you forget me because you can?

Truth be told I don’t want to be

Life’s lame current

I want magical colors, I want bursting ecstasy

From adventure and curiosity

So if you want to tell everyone

I’m not your child

If you want to tell everyone

My mind’s gone wild

I’ll let you tell everyone

But I will enjoy how beautiful this world can be

I’ll let you tell everyone

But I’ll still be me

I have no regrets reaching out to the stars

I have no regrets believing in things you say are farfetched

I don’t even wish I could a take moment back

I don’t even wish life was as simple as that

Because I am me, because that’s how I’ll always be

And though you can’t see, I wish you knew me

There’s something inside I’m tired of holding still

Because life is about living and discovery and free will

Truth be told I don’t want to be

Life’s lame current

I want magical colors, I want bursting ecstasy

From adventure and curiosity

So if you want to tell everyone

I’m not your child

If you want to tell everyone

My mind’s gone wild

I’ll let you tell everyone

But I will enjoy how beautiful this world can be

I’ll let you tell everyone

But I’ll still be me

You can tell the world, but when I'm skating on the stars

Maybe someday you'll say, "I know who you are."
