Turn your face up to the sun
You've just begun,
You've just begun
So head out in the wind
To put yourself,
12 steps from them...
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me all the lies that are in your head
But I think I would stay away...
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me all the lies that are in your head
But I think I would stay away (from dad)
Now you know it's right
Now you know it's right
When your world came crashing in
You lost yourself
Somewhere out there
So you see we're just the same
We picked up our paths
In fields of pain
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me all the lies that are in your head
But I think I would stay away...
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me all the lies that are in your head
But I think I would stay away (from dad)
Now you know it's right
Now you know it's right
Now you know it's right
It's played out now
Played out now
Why don't you
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me all the lies that are in your head
But I think I would stay away...
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me all the lies that are in your head
But I think I would
Stay away
Stay away
