All I need is a walking cane, to guide me on my way.

A hat to push away the rain, that would be okay.

Starting over to begin, I'm standing here to strong.

I never thought I'd ever see it all...

I stand to tall, but I shrink away,

I never thought I'd feel as good as the way I feel today.

So I'll run away, 'cause things aren't quite going my way.

Run away from yesterday, tomorrow we'll be free.

I slipped today but that's okay, I need a new routine.

Those who live and those who die,

shining like the sun, all trying to peak over the wall...

I stand to tall, but I shrink away,

I never thought I'd feel as good as the way I feel today.

(Chorus) When I turned on MTV,

I saw just what I wanted to be.

But that was yesterday and things aren't quite going my way...
