Lyric discussion by AngelofBradley1 

This song was really a rude awakening for me. I mean, I had spent pretty much my entire life sitting around waiting for things to come to me because I was too afraid to venture out and take the world on by my own hand. In an interesting twist of irony, I had decided to take a trip to Brazil (from the US) alone, and I heard this song on the airplane (had the Fear CD, just hadn't had a chance to listen to the whole thing until that trip) and when I heard this song, it made me stop and think. I must have listened to the song at least a good 30 times in a row, and it still impacts me to hear it now. It's all in the "Did we expect these things to change..." verse.

The whole Fear/PS thing has already been covered, but aside from that... that is what I got from the song myself. The idea that we need to take responsibility for the things we want from life. Don't wait for things to happen, take on the change yourself.

Though, then, there is that line "Nothing ever seemed so hard" hits me in the jaw each time. I know what I want. I have the talent to do it. But where do I begin? I never seem to know the first step.
