Manhattan

Did you ever stare at the globe?
 As a kid and wonder (Did they see the same things you did?)
 If other kids did what you did
 Figuring out why...
 We live where we live (Were you used to your surroundings?)
 You're born and that's where you have to exist
 A shape becomes a structure
 A quote stands out of a lecture (Did your handwriting get faster?)
 Suddenly everything comes together
 When you're so young
 Everything's so hard to do
 When you're so young
 They expect so much from you
 I was afraid to follow through
 I think I'm finally ready today
 You still mean more to me
 Than a million years of history
 You still mean more
 I don't show it so well
 I spend too much time thinking about myself
 I spend too much time
 I can't justify
 The past ten years
 When I messed around
 Without conquering my fears
 Yeah, I didn't fix anything at all
 You still mean more to me
 Than a million years of history
 You still mean more...
