[Verse 1]

It started out with a dream

In retrospect, maybe I was a little bit naïve

The world extended its hand

It sat me down and said to "shut up and just trust my plan"

If change is necessary, I understand

But my head seems to be trapped between the palms of my hands

[Chorus]

It's just that I'm no longer who I was one year younger

While I feel so stuck

Everything is moving faster and I

I guess it's best for me to change my old ways

But when I look in the mirror, I think I've been replaced

[Verse 2]

I'll take my Tylenol, yeah

'Cause my head is dying from thе pressure to know who I am

They say it's natural, yеah (Ha!)

How hypocritical that no one seems to understand

(Two, three, four, got a)

Pocket full of posies picking away at my brain every day because passion doesn't pay bills

Wish the world cared more about life than how high your pockets have to be filled

I'm fighting myself to be more free than a trial

But I guess this head of mine will hurt for a while

[Chorus]

I'm no longer who I was one year younger

While I feel so stuck

Everything is moving faster and I

I guess it's best for me to change my old ways

But when I look in the mirror, I think I've been replaced

[Bridge]

Maybe growth cannot happen if it isn't for change

Maybe I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for pain

Maybe we're not supposed to stay the same

(I'm just afraid)

Maybe I'm just afraid to change

(I think I'm just afraid)

[Chorus]

I'm no longer who I was one year younger

(I'm afraid to change)

While I feel so stuck

Everything is moving faster and I

(I'm afraid to change)

I guess it's best for me to change my old ways

But when I look in the mirror, I think I've been replaced

(I think that I've been replaced)
