Oh tell me please where I've been wrong And how long before I can go home And how many nights of drinking can you take? And how many smiles did you have to fake? I guess I can't count Well I was walking down a lonely road Trying to figure out how I'd gotten lost But John Ca**avetes came and lit my way, he said Fear is the basis for all of your mistakes And when you're not scared You can do nothing wrong Let's sing a song Don't forget what you are Do what you really really want But you're going down and down again Trying to figure out who is your friend And tell me how many lies did you wanna tell? And how many miles 'till you understand? I guess you can't count How many nights of crying can you take? And how long before your frown has become your face? And how many years before you take a step? I know it's hard to recall that there is no fate And when you're not scared You can do nothing wrong Let's sing a song Don't forget what you are Do what you really want Do what you really really want
