I feel so high school every time I look at you
I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you
And in a blink of a crinkling eye
I'm sinking, our fingers entwined
Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights
Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
I'll drink what you think, and I'm high
From smoking your jokes all damn night
The brink of a wrinkle in time
Bittersweet sixteen suddenly
I'm watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night
Your friends are around, so be quiet
I'm trying to stifle my sighs
'Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you
But look at you
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
"You're always free to begin again"
There was a point in my life where I was randomly visiting the soundtrack (as I often do) ... and when this line came up, it hit me. Having heard the song so many times before, it was so unexpected. It's difficult to recall everything I was feeling then and honestly I'd rather not. But I know I was quietly going through a heap. Unacknowledged even to myself on most days. Then I heard this and it just ...... resonated.
We survived the thunder
And escaped the hunger
And sometimes I wonder, how we got through
Who knows what they'll ask us
We don't need no answers
'Cause we stand to serve as living proof
You got a fast car, I gotta dream of something
You are a hot wire, I like to push your buttons
We gotta somehow, get out of town
We drove for ages, never looking back once
They wanna cage us, but we prefer our freedom
Call us outrageous, well how about now?

Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;*
Alle Menschen werden Brüder*
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
Wem der große Wurf gelungen
Eines Freundes Freund zu sein;
Wer ein holdes Weib errungen
Mische seinen Jubel ein!
Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele
Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!
Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle
Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!
Freude trinken alle Wesen
An den Brüsten der Natur;
Alle Guten, alle Bösen
Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.
Küsse gab sie uns und Reben,
Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod;
Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben
und der Cherub steht vor Gott.
Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen
Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan
Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn,
Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen.
Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!
Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt
Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen.
Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen?
Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt?
Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt!
Über Sternen muß er wohnen!
We won't back down
We won't (yeah, yo)
I'm here to go beyond my limit, not to compromise
And you can tell me if I mean it looking in my eyes
'Cause I've been waiting for my moment to strike
So, come close, let me show you what it's like
Yeah, you can try to stand in my path, but you're gonna regret it
I'll be the one who laughs last while I'm making my exit
'Cause this is only for the strong of heart, not if you get it
And no matter what the outcome, you better accept it
I can cut right through steel, I can bury the pain
So go down for a second, just get out of my way (out of my way)
You cheat, and you steal, I'm not letting it go
So take this as a lesson, 'cause that's all that we know
Will the whole world know your name
When we dance with destiny?
I've been there, and I've seen it
I'm never gonna stop believing
You'll find your flame
Oh, we can save the day (the day!)
We won't back down
We won't (yeah, alright)
It's like I'm seeing double vision
Take a seat, I'm on a mission
We got everything to gain (everything to gain, yeah)
To become everything you're not
You just give it all you got
And take the pleasure with the pain
Yeah, I can feel my fire awaken, no time for being complacent
There's a dream on the horizon, you know we gotta chase it
And when we get to where we're going, then we start the invasion
Best me? Now, you must be mistaken, hey
You know I'll turn you into rust, grind you right down to dust
You thought you were the best, well, you haven't met us
I'll bring the fire and rain, call me "the hurricane"
I'm not letting it go, 'cause it's all that I know
Will the whole world know your name
When we dance with destiny? (Destiny)
Yeah, I've been there, and I've seen it
I'm never gonna stop believing
You'll find your flame
Now, here we go, it's the end of the show
Hear them, they're calling your name
'Cause in the end it's you and your friends
You'll find your flame (go!)
Now, here we go, it's the end of the show
Hear them, they're calling your name
'Cause in the end, it's you and your friends
You'll find your flame
