Andy Bell - Statement Of Intent lyrics

[Verse 1] So you started out with big dreams All the things you'd like to do Turns out one thousand people want it Just as much as you Well life's not about conforming Ending up like all the rest No now lose the self indulgence Not the brightest or the best [Pre-Chorus] When you see who you want to be But they're just out of reach It seems that self a**urance Is the one thing they don't teach It'll all be better next year When you find some place to go As if still after twenty years It don't matter what you know [Chorus] Message after message Till I'm not sure what they meant Please heed my statement of intent [Verse 2] Sit down, relax, calm down Just try and be yourself All this when social media Becomes your living hell It seems just like a front It's there to catch you when you fall Cause despite all these connections We're the loneliest of all [Pre-Chorus] When you see who you want to be But they're just out of reach It seems that self a**urance Is the one thing they don't teach It'll all be better next year When you find some place to go As if still after twenty years It don't matter what you know [Chorus] Message after message Till I'm not sure what they meant Please heed my statement of intent [Verse 3] You're saying yes, I'll be an adult Look at the all the things I know But we're standing at the crossroads No idea which way to go What's the point in writing something If you don't have much to say Lord knows it took a long time Now I think I've found my way [Pre-Chorus] When you see who you want to be But they're just out of reach It seems that self a**urance Is the one thing they don't teach It'll all be better next year When you find some place to go As if still after twenty years It don't matter what you know [Chorus] Message after message Till I'm not sure what they meant Please heed my statement of intent Three - four
