Don't Be Yourself

The Rocket Summer

Don't be yourself in a million years
Be yourself right here
Or else, you're just gonna let your fears
Take all of your years
And mistakes you might make, contemplate
But do not stay, do not stay there
Don't be yourself in a million years
Be yourself right here

Time flying like a rock
While Goliaths try to duck
Jeana has a dream, Jeana has a slingshot

Don't be yourself in a million years
Be yourself right here
Or else, you're just gonna let your fears
Take all of your years
And mistakes you might make, contemplate
But do not stay, do not stay there
Don't be yourself in a million years
Be yourself right here

Old stained glass from a church
On aisle three at the antique store
It strikes me what it's seen:
The beauty and the screams
The weddings and the funerals
New life, the best, the worst

Don't be yourself in a million years
Be yourself right here
Or else, you're just gonna let your fears
Take all of your years
And mistakes you might make, contemplate
But do not stay, do not stay there
Don't be yourself in a million years
Be yourself right here

Now see yourself in your hindsight years
Then see yourself right here
See yourself in your hindsight years
Then see yourself right here

For what good are your dreams
If they stay within your sleep?

Don't be yourself in a million years
Be yourself right here
Or else, you're just gonna let your fears
Take all of your years
And mistakes you might make, contemplate
But do not stay, do not stay there
Don't be yourself in a million years
Be yourself right here
