lyrics

You can throw your past away; you're not the same.
They won't know you anyway.
You don't have to play the game,
and you can go by anyway you want to.

You can rewrite history; make it into a movie.
Who's to say you're wrong?
And if they do then you'll explain
that it isn't what you say, but what you mean.

If someone pushes you; you can run away.
Why stay, if you don't want to?
And if they say they want your love,
tell them what they want is not enough for you.

You can throw yourself away and be nothing
but a blank page in the light of day.
You can put your pens away;
it doesn't matter what you write. You're going to change.

You're gonna change today.
You're gonna change today whether or not you want to.
And you can do what you like, tell the truth or lie, you can quit or try, you can live or die.
Or you might just get by.
And then you'll change again and again and again.

Into whatever you want,
a fireman or an astronaut,
into a princess or a ghost,
into the least or the most.
