I was wondering if anyone knew or had the lyrics that were updated from the MTI Version. They start off with the boy talking about robbing his store he works for. Thanks!

Wake up every morning, shower and make some eggs.
Walk to work and get there right at 8.
Stock shelves and daydream of a scheme to rob the store.
Mop the floor and know it has to wait.

There you go, all these little moments
Watch them repeat nearly everyday
There I am, it's the same old bio
Ten hour shift then collect my pay, but
I know that something must be missing
This can't be how my whole life plays out
My dreams are ready to explode
But I've locked them up, what's that about?

But still I smile because I need to look strong
And all the while I soldier along
I know there's something much greater in me
But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become.

Meet the girls at breakfast a little after 1
Look at all the pictures from last night
Talk about that boy you met and how you bet you'll date
Ooh, but don't let that cute waiter out of site.

So there it is, do you understand me?
Now do you feel that you know my core?
There I am, that's my life on paper, but
Rip it up cause I'm needing more.
I feel like the world doesn't want to know me
Like there's some girl I should try to be
Sometimes I wish that I were her
Cause it seems more safe being me

But still I smile because I need to look strong
And all the while I soldier along
I know there's something much greater in me
But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become. Become.

Do I really wanna see, do I really wanna mess it all up to know?
Do I wanna live a life where I'll never be me?
Do I wanna grow?

Dinner plans with someone, he's the third this week
This one smells like paint and looks like Shrek
Act sweetly even though you know that you don't click.
Tell him you feel sick and split the check.

Well here I am in a little journal
With similar scribbles for every line.
Read it all and you'll think you get me
But most of the words are not even mine.
I feel this constant disconnection
But I don't know how to make it change
So I just face the world alone
And it looks alright, but it feels so strange.

And still I smile because I need to look strong
And all the while I soldier along
I know there's something much greater in me
But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become. Become.

Do I really wanna see, do I really wanna mess it all up to know?
Do I wanna live a life where I'll never be me?
Do I wanna grow?

Still awake at sunrise, staring at the screen
Counting friends online. Forget the sheep.
Try to figure out why Girl Scout cookies taste so good
The neighborhood wakes up, you fall asleep.

Take a look at the basic outline
One that is safe and without surprise
Learn it well, it's the life I'm living
A man who won't fail so he never tries, cause
Our lives are full of expectations.
I can't live up to what people need.
Sometimes I wonder what's the point
When I can't be sure that I'll succeed.

But still I smile because I need to look strong
And all the while I soldier along
I know there's something much greater in me
But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become. Become.

Do I really wanna see, do I really wanna mess it all up to know?
Do I wanna live a life where I'll never be me?
Do I wanna grow?

But still I smile because I need to look strong
And all the while I soldier along
I know there's something much greater in me
But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become. Become. Become. Updated On: 5/19/11 at 10:31 AM
