Everything I Want to Be Lyrics by Save Ferris

It Means Everything

1997

[Verse 1]
I find myself I'm just awastin' my time away
No matter what I do it always ends up the same
One minute moves
Into the next
My life was simple, but now it's complex
And it doesn't seem to mean anything at all
And everything I wanna be
Is just another silly dream, you see
But I'll keep dreaming just the same
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's hard to be me when people stand in my way
I get so easily discouraged, well, what can I say?
They try to mess you up
They try to push you around
They'll do anything
To bring you down
[Chorus]
Well I'm not gonna be
Stuck in mediocrity
When everybody's trying to bring me
Back down to reality
Oh, why can't they see
Just how much this means to me?
Maybe one day I'll be special
[Verse 3]
Your dreams are special to you
But maybe others don't care
It brings you down when you find them disregarded
And when you're out on your own
It's hard to make yourself stay
And finish up what it was that you once started
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna be, taken down that easily
When everybody's trying to tell me
What I'm gonna have to be
Oh, why can't they see?
Just how much this means to me
Maybe one day I'll be special
I'll be special
[Bridge]
It means nothin'
It means everything
It means somethin' to me
Yeah-ah-ah
What you tryin' to say
I'm not gonna play
In this little game
That you have created for me
You had your chance to do
What you needed to
And now it's time for me to step right up and
Spin that wheel
This time's for real
It's not gonna work this time
'Cause in the end it's going to be mine
There's no need for me to stay
Cause everything is gonna go my way
My way, my way
My way
My way
My way
My way
