It takes a different kind of courage
Every inch off the ground you know you've earned it
When anxiety's cure
Becomes a curse when it stops working

My first reflex never occurred to me
You're following your own footsteps
It's absurdity
I'm glad you're calling me anyways

You had a weak start
But you're not
Weak Hearted
Weak Hearted
I said

I never wanted to be a dreamer

Help me crawl out of my
Crawl out of my shell

You had a weak start
But you're not weak hearted

I know
You're no stranger to disillusionment
Disproving your own conclusions it's
Becoming a habit

You had a weak start
But you're not
Weak Hearted
Weak Hearted
I said

I never wanted to be a dreamer
More like follow the leader
Help me crawl out of my
Crawl out of my shell
Do you know the first thing about
Do you know the first way out
I can see it
I can see it

A white flag off in the distance

My first reflex never occurred to me
You're following your own footsteps
It's absurdity
I'm glad you're calling me anyways

I never wanted to be

We never wanted to be the dreamers
Less like follow the leader
Help us crawl out of our
Crawl out of our shells
Weakhearted no

My first reflex never occurred to me
You're following your own footsteps
It's absurdity
I'm glad you're calling me anyways

I never wanted to be a dreamer
But that's what I've become
