When I was younger they told me to shoot for the moon And now that I miss I can run out of air with a really nice view Now I'm enjoying the pace that I've found Without your gravity pulling me down Yeah when I was younger they told me to shoot for the moon When I was younger they said being special was good They said one day we'd be grown up And be changing the world like we should Now challenging norms means you're making a fuss It's best to conform and believe just like us But when I was younger they said being special was good If you're disappointed know that I am too In the perspectives I was handed down from you And I know by now there's nothing I can do Some things that we believed about me just aren't true No, they just aren't true If you're disappointed know that I am too That my progression isn't good enough for you If I hadn't found a way to change then I'd be screwed So going back to where I was, it just won't do When I was younger they told me to shoot for the moon So don't be surprised if I don't come around again anytime soon But I'll remember the words that they spoke Even if now they might seem like a joke Cause when I was younger they saw the world differently too And when I was younger they said being special was good And when I was younger they told me to shoot for the moon
