Full of Wonder

If I was supposed to change
 When was I to be told?
 How could I possibly know that everything I knew was wrong?
 And when I reach the end, am I the only one outside?
 Did I lose my only chance?
 Never knowing that I had one
 I'll work my way out from the inside
 I'll work my way out from the inside
 And I can see you chasing after me and barely behind.
 But I was never any good at facing anything.
 And I can see you're almost there from the corner of my eye.
 But I could never face you, no I could never,
 There are too many rules
 Too many paths to follow
 I started down the wrong one
 And now it's too late to return
 But those I have met along the way
 Have greeted me with kindness
 Who is to say they're not enough?
 I am not enough
 I'll work my out from the inside
 I'll work my out from the inside
 And I can see you chasing after me and barely behind.
 But I was never any good at facing anything.
 And I can see you're almost there from the corner of my eye.
 But I could never face you, no I could never,
 We started off so full of wonder
 But we never really got there
 To the point of perfect clarity
 We shrugged it off as something useless
 Never gaining any ground
 Barley holding on to what we have left
 Was I born a step behind you?
 Losing ground before I could even move?
 Was I only made to move backwards?
 Away from you, away from you
 I'll work my out from the inside
 I'll work my out from the inside
 We started off so full of wonder
 But we never really got there
 To the point of perfect clarity
 We shrugged it off as something useless
 Never gaining any ground
 Barley holding on to what we have left
 Avert your eyes child, avert your eyes
 We never meant for you to see
 We never meant for you to see this
 Avert your eyes child, avert your eyes
 We never meant for you to see
 We never meant for you to see!
 Avert your eyes child, avert your eyes
 We never meant for you to see
 We never meant for you to see this!
