I remember all those terribly awkward years In a time capsule that dropped me right here. I'd stay up with an unplugged microphone Singing some songs about being alone Writing so many poems of being unknown How everyone looked so perfect, They had a plan that seemed perfect, They weren't like me, they weren't like you. Masks of perfection that made me feel less than you Questioning all of the life we've been through
I had a combination to a lock I still know Even if it's to a door, now unknown Down the hall you can find me, number 345 studying chapters in books on how to feel alive Then graduate, jumping off that high dive And we splash, knowing nothing Praying we don't drown Sick from the vertigo of a planet spinning us around.
Everyone looked so perfect, They had a plan that seemed perfect Just like me, just like you With a mask having each the other fooled Questioning how they made it through I'm so perfect. You're so perfect too. My plan is, I haven't got a clue.
