I was a hurricane
I was a lost boy
I was a runaway
Oh, I could fly
When I was ten years old
When I was ten years old
I was the reckless tide
In a white sea
Oh, I could pierce the night
With just one light
'Cause I was ten feet tall
Yeah, I was ten feet tall
All of the shattered bones
All of the broken homes
All the things that we've been through
Would somehow lead me back to you
And, oh, we would close our eyes
Oh, we would rule the night
And all the things that we've been through
Would somehow take me back to you
I don't wanna be nobody else
I don't wanna be nobody else
I keep running from myself
Trying to be somebody else
I don't wanna be nobody else
I don't wanna be nobody else
I keep running from myself
Trying to be somebody else

You were a blazing heart
In a cold world
You were a raging fire, rising high
When you were ten weeks old
When you were ten weeks old
They're gonna try, gonna try
Gonna try, gonna try
But they're never gonna take your heart, baby
They're never gonna take your heart, baby, ooh
But they're never gonna take your heart, baby
They're never gonna take your heart
All of the roads we crossed
All of the dreams we lost
All of the things that we've been through
Would somehow lead me back to you
Oh, we would close our eyes
Oh, we would own the night
And all the things that we've been through
Would somehow lead me back to you
I don't wanna be nobody else
I don't wanna be nobody else
I keep running from myself
Trying to be somebody else
I don't wanna be nobody else
I don't wanna be nobody else
I keep running from myself
Trying to be somebody else

Brothers, sisters, keep on reaching
Fathers, mothers, keep on dreaming
Fighters, soldiers, drop your weapons
And lay your back on me
Lay your back on me
