lyrics

You can do what you wanna do, make believe that it's up to you
seize the day, like they told you to, have the time of you life

You can say what you wanna say, no one ever listens anyway
watch it shine watch it fade away, hear the noise turning white

I've had enough, you can keep my stuff
the bittersweet release of giving up
washes over me and over til I rise above
Heavy arms, heavy legs, heavy heart, heavy head
let it go, set it free, get myself, out of me

You can be who you wanna be, steal your own identity
be the cure be the remedy, live the life that you like

You can love who you wanna love, do the thing that you're frightened of
you will find there is just enough, dark to show us the light
