I'm gonna start a fire and swallow it under the spotlight at the carnival

I'll live the type of life where the tigers can't tame me cause I prefer the wild

Now I walk the elephants that you had me ignoring

They're sweet just for the hell of it and Oh, how they adore me

Did you get my postcard back home saying that I'm sorry that I'm not coming back

I just need to be where I feel wanted

I don't wanna fit in

I just wanna belong to something big

And I feel more at peace with the strangers I meet than with you

I'm gonna try to smile and mean it

I wanna mean it, I do

I'm gonna try to take back my time

Cause I really need it, I mean it, I do

I'm gonna walk the line and never look down or back at what's behind me

I'm gonna take a ride and people watch at the very top of the ferris wheel

Now I walk the elephants that you had me ignoring

They're sweet just for the hell of it and Oh, how they adore me

Did you get my postcard back home saying that I'm sorry that I'm not coming back

I just need to be where I feel wanted

I don't wanna fit in

I just wanna belong to something big

And I feel more at peace with the strangers I meet than with you

I'm gonna try and smile and mean it

I wanna mean it, I do

I'm gonna try to take back my time

Cause I really need it, I mean it, I do
