Not That Simple ~PC

A song about growing up. Exaggerated, of course.

*~*~*~*

There's a day when you'll wake up and you'll find
That it's all a state of mind
And your dreams are left behind...
You
There's a day when we all can finally see
All the things we thought could be
Buried deep in you and me

(Chorus)
When all your childhood days are over
Now you're finally getting older
And we all fall to the ground
As the world spins up around
When you find how they all lied
Though you tried hard to survive
Long ago, you were so sure
It's not that simple anymore

There's a time when you have to let things go
All the worlds you used to know
Curtains drawn for life's new show...
So
You're the star, facing up to who you are
With a painful black guitar
Oh, somehow you've come this far

(Chorus)
When all your childhood days are over
Now you're finally getting older
And we all fall to the ground
As the world spins up around
When you find how they all lied
Though you tried hard to survive
Long ago, you were so sure
It's not that simple anymore

*key change* (up a half-step)
Now all your childhood days are over
Now the world starts getting colder
If we never turn around
Life will throw us to the ground
We must fight to stay alive
If you learn, then you'll survive
Long ago, you were so sure
It's not that simple anymore

(chorus played on xylophone) (or whatever they call them now) (percussionists...)

Long ago, I was so sure...
It's not that simple anymore

*~*~*~*

Yeah, I long for the time when everything was simple, the whole world revolved around me, and nobody concerned me with things like... essays. And cleaning my room. And choosing between orchestra and marching band......
