Punchline - Exactly lyrics

I am awake Finally unafraid My dues are paid Gone are the days I displayed No rhyme because good times could go too quickly No reason pleased only by love No understanding of this human species But where I was Begged a why with no because Now I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong I feel like I reflect as if I've entered yesteryear When just yesterday I appeared to be Somebody with no fears Of ever growing up I loved being stuck Sometimes I wish I was there No rhyme because good times could go too quickly No reason pleased only by love No understanding of this human species But where I was Begged a why with no because Now I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong Life's not over It's finally mine to own My fears of the fall are gone I had no idea Still just me now Anticipation of the worst was simply wrong Yeah I was afraid I was afraid I'd become just like them Now just the fear of growing up and becoming that It almost k**ed me 'Cause I had some plans when I was a kid I made some promises to myself Promises I began to feel I couldn't deliver on as I grew older But you know what? looking back I love that hopeful kid Enough to prove to him That nothing can take away that hope nothing can take away his vision And just because my world is dead I came to fight to that noble end Gonna keep my eyes wide, walk outside stay myself inside And I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become (And I belong) And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong (And I belong) And I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become (And I belong) And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong (And I belong)
