When I was young, my mother told me never to lie
The truth will set you free
Will set all of us free

I knew no better, I believed her, now I'm stuck in a rut
This is not who I want to be
I just want to be

somebody else
In a time where it kills
To be too honest with yourself
To fake who you are
And be somebody else

This is the same thing you did
Last summer, do you remember
We are the pattern
We are a carousel
We kept falling off of the horse
But got back on
More than just once
And if that's not what it takes
To be something perfect
Then I guess I'll never know what is
I'll never know what is

If this is crazy
I never wanna know what's sane
Caught like a deer in the headlights
So hit the brakes

Outside of your window
In the pouring rain
And I am screaming
For your name

This is the same thing you did
Last summer, do you remember
We are the pattern
We are a carousel
We kept falling off of the horse
But got back on
More than just once
And if that's not what it takes
To be something perfect
Then I guess I'll never know what is
I'll never know what is.
