Shoot for the Moon

When I was younger they told me to shoot for the moon
And now that I miss I can run out of air with a really nice view
Now I'm enjoying the pace that I've found
Without your gravity pulling me down
Yeah when I was younger they told me to shoot for the moon

When I was younger they said being special was good
They said one day we'd be grown up and be changing the world like we should
Now challenging norms means you're making a fuss
It's best to conform and believe just like us
But when I was younger they said being special was good

If you're disappointed know that I am too
In the perspectives I was handed down from you
And I know by now there's nothing I can do
Some things that we believed about me just aren't true
No, they just aren't true

If you're disappointed know that I am too
That my progression isn't good enough for you
If I hadn't found a way to change then I'd be screwed
So going back to where I was, it just won't do

When I was younger they told me to shoot for the moon
So don't be surprised if I don't come around again anytime soon
But I'll remember the words that they spoke
Even if now they might seem like a joke
Cause when I was younger they saw the world differently too
And when I was younger they said being special was good
And when I was younger they told me to shoot for the moon
