Awwww! Break down! [Verse 1] I've been breaking sweats in the nighttime I was growing my hair And I could not care what they'd think 'Cause my eyes were turned up like they tore open the ceiling I've been singing songs in the nighttime I was banging my head And I could not care what they'd think I said, "Don't open the door, even if you hear me screaming." [Chorus] I built a raft and got carried away In my new direction and there is where I stay 'Cause you should have known that this boy wasn't grown So you can go away, go away If you want to leave If you want to leave Now get down! [Verse 2] I was catching glimpses of bright lights And they attracted my steps So I was so scared of what could be Hidden underneath the rocks that we never reposition I was singing songs with a lost mind I am still among friends So I am not scared of anything I said, "Don't open the door, even if you hear me screaming." [Chorus] I met a boy who got carried away In my new direction and there is where he stays Well, you should have known that this boy wasn't grown So you can go away, go away If you want to leave [Bridge] Oh, now, don't you hide 'Cause you've got a treasure to find Shed those leaves that you lie underneath Oh, now, don't you stray If you feel that you've lost your way Share this feeling that came over me, over me Break down! [Verse 3] I've been breaking sweats in the nighttime I was growing my hair And I could not care what they think I said, "Don't open the door, even if you hear me screaming." [Chorus] I am the boy who got carried away In my new direction and there is where I stay Well, you should have known that this boy wasn't grown So you can go away, go away If you want to leave If you want to leave Well, you should have known that this boy wasn't grown So you can go away, go away If you want to leave If you want to leave
