You've been thrown into youth
With nothing to hold onto
You're part of the 'in' crowd
You spend your time thinking out loud
I won't act that surprised
When you find you're out of style
'Cause you always reinvent yourself
Again and again
I don't wanna be
The same old story
Something you can't see
There's nothing for me
If you believe in what you say
The same old story
It wouldn't be the same
You don't find compromise
In the trends that you see
Into the mirror of a chosen few
They could never hold you back
Pretty hard to believe
Looking in the eyes that lack
That you would never think to turn around
Or ever watch your back
You know that you're on a higher plane
'Cause you won't have it any other way
You know it's true sometimes what they always say
Do you believe?
I don't wanna be
The same old story
Something you can't see
There's nothing for me
If you believe in what you say
The same old story
It wouldn't be the same
Well you know that you're on a higher plane
'Cause you won't have it any other way
You know it's true sometimes what they always say
Do you believe?
I don't wanna be
Something you can't see
If you believe in what you say
It wouldn't be the same
I don't wanna be
The same old story
Something you can't see
There's nothing for me
If you believe in what you say
The same old story
It wouldn't be the same
With nothing to hold onto
You're part of the 'in' crowd
You spend your time thinking out loud
I won't act that surprised
When you find you're out of style
'Cause you always reinvent yourself
Again and again
I don't wanna be
The same old story
Something you can't see
There's nothing for me
If you believe in what you say
The same old story
It wouldn't be the same
You don't find compromise
In the trends that you see
Into the mirror of a chosen few
They could never hold you back
Pretty hard to believe
Looking in the eyes that lack
That you would never think to turn around
Or ever watch your back
You know that you're on a higher plane
