. I wrote it during my A levels, which was quite a strange time, as everyone was preparing to leave to go to uni, and I was thinking alot about what I was going to do in the future and what decisions I was going to make. It's also about realsing you have to do things for yourself, and not because you feel you should or becuase people expect it of you.
When I played is accusticly at an open mic a few months ago I made my friend and my girlfriend cry very dramatically. They were quite drunk though.
Turning my back on my future
Strange thoughts running through my hair
I never knew what was good for me
I never thought I could get there
But I can see the future just around the corner
You know it's always closer than you think
Rivers, floods of change rolling on forever
You've got to take care not to sink
Well, this is the day and this is the time
I'm gonna be good, I'm gonna be fine
I'm gonna be me no matter the price
they say it turns out OK
Working my way through my concience
Coming up soon after me
I guess I can't pretend that it's not like that anymore
I guess I need a break from symmetry
But I'm not going nowhere, that's the last thing on my mind
Even though it's sometimes tempting to just leave
No suprises here, just good old fashioned paranoia
you can see that I've got nothing up my sleve
Well, this is the day and this is the time
I'm gonna be good, I'm gonna be fine
I'm gonna be me no matter the price
they say it turns out OK
Turning towoards my troubles
Filing them back in my brain
I never thought it would come to this
Even though it all still feels the same
But something's happened, the river's flowing back to the source now
Though some think that it's dried up completly
Rowing to the ocean in a rusty boat of nails
Though I know there's no danger of me sinking
Well, this is the day and this is the time
I'm gonna be good, I'm gonna be fine
I'm gonna be me no matter the price
they say it turns out OK
Enjoy
