[Verse]
Under such disappointing times
We distract ourselves
Showing off our petty chemical fires
They glow so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
So you follow your dreams
Or at least the dreams you've settled for
But if you followed your dreams, oh

[Chorus]
I want the answer
I want the cure for dying alone
I thought that I was meant to be a hero
Now they'll all see how much I've grown

[Verse]
Sing loud and scream and yell
And raise your fists and cause an avalanche
If you squeeze him hard enough
God might show the way
Or if you just grow up
You'll see that there's little in this world
Worth screaming for
So fall in love and lie down
[Pre-Chorus]
So you follow your dreams
Or at least the dreams you've settled for
But if you followed your dreams, oh

[Chorus]
I want the answer
I want the cure for dying alone
I thought that I was meant to be a hero
Now they'll all see how much I've grown
I want the answer
I want the cure for dying alone
I thought that I was meant to be a hero
Now they'll all see how much I've grown

[Bridge]
Under such disappointing times
We distract ourselves
Showing off our petty chemical fires
Or if you just grow up
Under such disappointing times
We distract ourselves
Showing off our petty chemical fires

[Chorus]
I want the answer
I want the cure for dying alone
I thought that I was meant to be a hero
Now they'll all see how much I've grown
