[Verse 1]
I’ve learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me

[Verse 2]
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun (C-c-c-c’mon)
Because you’ve learned, because you’ve learned (Go go go go go)

[Verse 3]
I don’t wanna be a hero (On the outside always looking in)
Just wanna stay in the line (Will I ever be more than I’ve always been)
I’ll never be your Rob DeNiro (I’m tap tap tapping on the glass)
For me Joe Pesci is fine (Waving through a window woah)
And so I follow my own rules
And I use them as my tools (As my tools)
To stay alive (Stay alive)
I don’t wanna be special no no
I just wanna stay a-

[Verse 4]
Hold your breath and count the days (stay alive)
We’re graduating soon (stay alive)
College will be paradise
If i’m not dead by June
[Verse 5]
But I know I know I know (I know, I know)
Life can be beautiful (Raise a glass to freedom)
I pray I pray I pray
For a better way (Something they can never take away)
We can change back then, we can change again (No matter what they tell you)
We can be beautiful (Let's have another round tonight)

[Verse 6]
Let’s save the pitiful children
Woah (Woah)
Let’s save the pitiful children
Woah
Let’s teach the pitiful children
Who just haven’t a clue
Just what to do
He-elp them to he-e-elp you

[Verse 7]
If you lack the balls
You can go play dolls
Let your mommy fix you a snack, woah
Or you could come smoke
Pound some rum and coke in my porsche with the quarterback
Woah woah woah
[Verse 8]
I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it Happens (It’s my candy store, it’s my candy)
I wanna be in the room where it happens, woah (It's my candy store, it's my candy)

[Verse 9]
My god in god we trust
But we never really know what got discussed
Click boom then it happens

[Verse 10]
I will sing no requiem tonight
Why should I play the grieving girl and (Forgiveness, can you imagine?)
Lie saying that I miss you and that (Forgiveness, can you imagine?)
My world has gone dark without your light (If you see him in the street, walking by her side, talking by her side, have pity)
I will sing no requiem to

[Verse 11]
Michael in the bathroom
Michael in the bathroom at a party
Forget how long it’s been I’m just
Michael in the bathroom (Freeze your brain)
Michael in the bathroom at a party (Swim in the ice, get lost in the pain)
No you can’t come in (Forget who you are)
I’m waiting it out til' it’s time to leave (Unburden your load)
And picking at grout as I softly grieve (Forget in six weeks, you'll be back on the road)
I’m just Michael who you don’t know
Michael flying solo
Michael in the bathroom by himself
[Verse 12]
Cause all that it takes is a little
Reinvention
It’s easy to change if you give it (Dadadadada-dadadadadayada dada-da-da-dayada)
Your attention
All you gotta do is just believe
You can be who you want to be
Sincerely

[Verse 13]
(Alexander Hamilton / Christiiiiiine / Dear Evan Hansen / Ah, Heather, Heather, and Heather) Don't you want a life with
Me? (All we see is sky for forever)
Can we be seventeen? (All we see is sky for forever)
That’s all I want to do (I do, I do, I do, I do / Let the world pass by for forever this way)
If you could let me in
I could be good with you (Helpless / All we see is sky for forever)
Can we be seventeen? (Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit I'm helpless / Let the world pass by for forever)
If we still have the right (Down for the count and i'm drownin' in 'em / We could be alright for forever this way)
If you could let me in (Two friends)
I want to be with you

[Verse 14]
I still have voices in my head but now they’re just the normal kind (Woah, in your head, woah)
I still have voices in my head but now they’re just the normal kind (Woah, in your head, woah)
I still have voices in my head but now they’re just the normal kind (Woah, in your head, woah)
