This park and these houses
Old streets, I have walked
Everything dear, will it be here?
One day when I am returning

My friends will get married
Have children and homes
It sounds so nice, well planned and wise
Never expecting surprises

I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the hell am I if I don't even try?

I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take it, it can't go wrong

My friends and my family
This dull little town
Buses I've missed, boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar

I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the hell am I if I don't even try?

I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take it
Yes, I will take it, it can't go wrong

    I'll just ignore those multiple comments...to me, this song is about leaving home to pursue a carreer, reminds me of going off to studies.
