This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'll sell you the things that you really don't need
You've got to make your friends
Feel like you're prettier than they will ever be
It's all subjective and it's all perspective
It's all confused and I'm not amused
But it's quickly changing everything that I thought
Coked up at eighteen
She said she read about it in magazine
She found at school
It's like they expect you to believe
You can drive your new SUV
Straight up to heaven
It's all subjective and it's all perspective
It's all confused and I'm not amused
But it's quickly changing everything that I thought
That I believed
Wish I'd forget everything that I want
Not that I need
If I had a car
Or better yet the drive
We're better off to drive on
I'd stop tossing and turning
It's almost my turn to drive
If you had a dream
With less caffeine and more laughing
And steadier your hands
I'd call that a plan
But I wouldn't give in to it
You are what you are
As you are, just for you
Change as you find that change is good for you
Be what you will be
Not for me, not for anyone but
You are what you are
As you are, just for you
You've got to make your friends
Feel like you're prettier than they will ever be
It's all subjective and it's all perspective
It's all confused and I'm not amused
But it's quickly changing everything that I thought
Coked up at eighteen
She said she read about it in magazine
She found at school
It's like they expect you to believe
You can drive your new SUV
Straight up to heaven
It's all subjective and it's all perspective
It's all confused and I'm not amused
But it's quickly changing everything that I thought
That I believed
Wish I'd forget everything that I want
Not that I need
If I had a car
Or better yet the drive
We're better off to drive on
I'd stop tossing and turning
It's almost my turn to drive
If you had a dream
With less caffeine and more laughing
And steadier your hands
I'd call that a plan
But I wouldn't give in to it
You are what you are
As you are, just for you
Change as you find that change is good for you
Be what you will be
Not for me, not for anyone but
You are what you are
As you are, just for you

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
great song.
i think it's "coked up at eighteen."
anddd. "steadier hands"
good job overall.. can't wait for this album.
Thanks for the corrections. I wish the edit button wasn't dead so I could actually correct them.
i think its all about him seeing someone try to be someone else to fit in and be with the in-crowd. the chant at the end:
You are what you are As you are, just for you Change as you find that change is good for you Be what you will be Not for me, not for anyone but You are what you are As you are, just for you
is a chant saying don't be what other people want. its kinda like Asa telling you to just be you and stop pretending.
this song reminds me so much of Say Anything and Max Bemis' style of writing.
TJV has come so far. it sucks they're breaking up. either way this song is amazing.
