Just Me To My Own Way
I don't run, I skip
I don't fall, I trip
I don't swim, I skinny-dip
My heart won't crack, it will rip
I don't take things plainly
I was never "good", I was great
I think highly of you mainly
Don't worry when you leave me, I'll always wait
Walk barefoot
Wear shorts
Ankle bracelets, nose rings
Loose hair
Laughing so hard you snort
3-2-1 blast off
Press the button and watch me fly
I can shoot up to the moon
Fall back and land on your sky
Let's break clouds
Crack mountain tops, split stars
Overtake the things above
So we can leave the heaven's our scars
Let's dance to outer space
Make music that echoes on Saturn's ring
Pluck a guitar string and watch it waver
Make lyrics that will make Venus sing
Step to the beat
Make your sneakers squeak
Beat slips under your soles
Dancin' and singin'
Off your tongue the lyric rolls
I like making noise
I like to break the skies
Chillin with my girls and boys
Life with me is one big surprise
