  • What I'm searching for
    To tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
    Walking by myself
    Down avenues that reek of time to kill
    If you see me keep going
    Be a pass by waver
    Build me up, bring me down
    Just leave me out you name dropper
    Stop trying to catch my eye
    I see you good you forced faker
    Just make it easy
    You're my enemy you fast talker

    I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
    If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

    I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
    If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

    What am I here for?
    I left my home to disappear is all
    I'm here for myself
    Not to know you
    I don't need no one else
    Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
    You don't know me
    I am an introvert an excavator
    I'm duckin' out for now
    A face in dodgy elevators
    Creep up and suddenly
    I found myself
    An innovator

    I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
    If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

    I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
    If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

    Change-change, change, change
    I want to get up out of my skin
    Tell you what
    If I can shake it
    I'm 'a make this
    Something worth dreaming of

    I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
    If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

    I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
    If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

    I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
    If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe Writer/s: John Graham Hill, Santi White
