You gave me a home to sleep tonight

You’ve given me hope to stay alive

I’d scream at the top of my lungs just to get my way

And maybe someday I’ll finish school

And be all the things you want me to

But for now I will travel the world and see if it works

 

I can fight for myself but you need to know

 

Baby please, [bad word] away from me

I know that times are hard and if you leave now life will still go on

And I’Il chase my dreams, but you will never see

That’s why this song was made

Cause you need to know that I’m still the boy you loved

 

You’ve given me strength to be a man,

even when I could hardly stand

And now I feel you need me to do the same for you

Maybe someday I’ll straighten up

But college was never quite enough

So for now I will travel the world, and make it work

 

I can live on my own but you need to know.

 

Baby please, [bad word] away from me

I know that times are hard and if you leave now life will still go on

And I’Il chase my dreams, but you will never see,

That’s why this song was made

Cause you need to know I’m still the boy you loved

 

I know, we are on our own,

we’re not kids anymore, we’re not kids anymore

And I know, we are far from home,

we’re not kids anymore, we’re not kids anymore
