This park and these houses
Old streets I have walked
Everything dear
Will it be here
One day when I am returning?

My friends will get married
Have children and homes
It sounds so nice
Well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises

I wonder
It's frightening
Leaving now
Is that the right thing?
I wonder
It scares me
But who the hell am I
If I don't even try?
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take t
It can't go wrong

My friends and my family
This dull little town
Buses I've missed
Boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar

I wonder
It's frightening
Leaving now
Is that the right thing?
I wonder
Oh, it scares me
But who the hell am I
If I don't even try?
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take it
It can't go wrong
