All I want is to minimize The damage I do To the people I love With the time that I have I'm looking deep in my mother's eyes Asking her what to do When it feels where I'm from Has got me pushed to the back Don't understand how it can be so hard to be so good to someone All I need is an architect To draw up the plans Put them into my hands God just give me a guide All I need is an editor To sift through the muck Say it's not good enough Help me rewrite my lines Don't understand how it can be so hard to be so good at something I want to learn to share, I want to listen I want to grow, and I want to know you All I do is just try so hard To make all the friends Keep them shaking my hand Until I fit in 'round here Feel so stuck in the middle ground Too lame to be cool Too cool to be lame Man, it's all so unclear Don't understand how it can be so hard to feel at home somewhere I want to learn to share I want to listen I want to grow and I want to know you I want to learn to share I want to listen I want to grow and I want to know you more
