i'm afraid of looking up and not seeing the sky
i am afraid of the word ‘boy' in every conversation line
and i am afraid that my hero will always kill me in the end
and that my friends, oh god my friends, i'm fucking scared of losing them

and i know that i'll never be a tough guy
and i know i can't handle anything without losing my mind

(so)

sit me down and shut me up and pin me to the floor
tell me everything's alright, promise that i need nothing more
and i will smile, i will smile, i will smile, i will smile and look towards
the brighter side.
and i will smile i will smile i will smile, i will smile
and look towards the brighter side of this
on-going company of miles
and i will smile,
and look towards the brighter side.
