Standard (EADGBE)

Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole

Is there somebody that you want to talk to

You know that pretty soon, you'll be able to fly

How is this going to affect you

  Do you think it might wreck you

  Your friends might reject you

  You say you took it too far

  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...

Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen

We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine

And one day she just walked into that magazine

I wonder if she'll ever come back

  They all said she would crack

  They said her mind was one-track

  They said she took it too far

  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...

Every time you move your lips

Well, let me give you a few tips

Yesterday you were too young

Tomorrow you will be too old

To regret all the things you've done

  Who you trying to hustle

  Somebody want to show your muscle

  Second hand excuses never went too far

  What's this scene you're making

  Your ideas have been taken

  We'll seek when you awaken

  Alone in someone's car

  You just stood there shaking

  You stood there shaking

  They said you were faking

  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be

  Closer to the stars.
