I see the world in a different way A ladder's not a ladder It's a staircase leading to a roof where a lawn chair is set up And the rain's pitter patter sounds more like a song Than anything that I've ever made up I see the world in a different way Life is but a vapor Sometimes even a viper or the devil is a sniper I'm all caught up, I'm all caught up. I'll never be The person that you want from me But I'll be myself When the sunny days turn into snow, I'll strap on my wings but unlike birds I won't fly south. If you take your hand and make a fist Can you look through it? It takes more than flesh to feel a breeze. Why kill time? What did it to to you? You should be jailed for your crime But we're all just as guilty so it's just a fine I'll never be The person that you want from me But I'll be myself When the sunny days turn into snow, I'll strap on my wings but unlike birds I won't fly south.
