When I was younger
I made it bad
Now that I’m growing
I’m feeling glad
Do you see it?
I’ll do it all on my own

Don’t try to cage me
I’m doing fine
Don’t try to stop me
I’m feeling alive
You’re trying to kill me
But, see, you’re doing it all wrong

You better know me as I am
Please, let your guard down
You better know me as I am
So, please, let your guard down

I’ve caught me wondering
How could I
Have never thought that
You’d made me cry
But that’s fine, man
I’m standing right here, right now

Don’t try to cage me
I’m doing fine
Don’t try to stop me
I’m feeling alive
You’re trying to kill me
But, see, you’re doing it all wrong

You better know me as I am
Please, let your guard down
You better know me as I am
So, please, let your guard down
