Hey, I was just thinking that maybe you dont need to waste Some of the best days of your lives, trying so hard to abide By some preset list of rules Talking about conviction When you havent even been convinced of anything yet Just stressing about letting down all of your friends Its like having your mom pick out your clothes for you Youre still too young to know where you stand on anything yet And there is nothing wrong with that It might be kinda fun to get to know yourself a little while Take a left at every fork, stare into every cloud On the journey to find whats in your heart the only thing to be united With is that pulsing in your veins But seriously, fuck all that for awhile Whats the point of being a kid If you are not gonna run wild and break every stupid rule Even the ones that make those bands seem cool You might as well hang out in church Mark my words Theres still so much that you have yet to learn Your strongest beliefs, the ones that will see you through Will come to you when least expected They cant be forced, will not be shaped to fit Truth does not come when called And if youre only young once and these days, they move so fast Why would you waste one second of them Falling in line, following rules It sounds so simple but I know its fucking hard Its gonna take a little while to find out exactly who you are But then maybe the day wont come When you have to turn your back On all those things that you once stood for Left behind like an old pile of shirts Ive seen it happen so many times before Spit in the face of a sacred oath That some of us took when ready
rule, yet, preset, young, every
