I used to worry 'bout the shadows
I hated knowing there was something there that I couldn't see
I thought the monsters out my window
Yeah, they were waiting for me
They were waiting for me
But now my fears have started changing
Now, I'm more worried about all of the things to come
Yeah, mostly I've been scared of failing
I feel the weight of the world is pushing down on me
'Cause I could write every song and never say a thing
I could have what I want, but still not what I need
I could hide all of my problems inside a melody
Wish I could go back to the day
When it was only night that made me afraid
When it was only lions and tigers
But now it's heartaches and liars
And wondering just what does the future hold
'Cause I don't know
I don't know
♪
Sometimes I stand out by the ocean
It makes me notice there is something so much bigger than me
Keep trying to come up with the answers
I still don't know if I can figure out
But in a life made up of moments
We're all nothing but memories
So much pressure on the present
People say who you gotta be
Empty faces in a crowd of a people
Standing in front of me
It feels like everybody's watching
'Cause I could write every song and never say a thing
I could hide all of my problems inside a melody
Wish I could go back to the day
When it was only night that made me afraid
When it was only lions and tigers
But now it's heartaches and liars
And wondering just what does the future hold
Wish I could go back to the day
When it was only night that made me afraid
When it was only lions and tigers
But now it's heartaches and liars
And wondering just what does the future hold
'Cause I don't know
I don't know

When did the monster become the man in the mirror
And when did my understanding of life stop at the ceiling
I could tell you stories of sleepless nights and worries
Of all the things I cannot control
Wish I could go back to the day
When it was only night that made me afraid
When it was only lions and tigers
But now it's heartaches and liars
And wondering just what does the future hold
Wish I could go back to the day
When it was only night that made me afraid
When it was only lions and tigers
But now it's heartaches and liars
And wondering just what does the future hold
Wish I could go back to the day
When it was only night that made me afraid
When it was only lions and tigers
