“I want to run through the halls of my high school,
I want to scream at the
Top of my lungs.
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world,
Just a lie you've got to rise above.”

“Cause I never thought I'd lose.
I only thought I'd win.
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin.
I can't believe you love me.
I never thought you'd come.
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son.”

Down in the meadow, where is richer feed,
