lyrics

Well no offence but I don't want to be like you
I've heard a lot of stories and I've read a lot of books and they have all helped me decide on what to do
Life is just a tight rope and we're going for a walk
But if we slip and fall off we just have to get back up and start again

So let's sing songs about the people that we love
Then let us all make sure that they've all heard the words we've sung
There's nothing worse than telling someone something they don't want to hear
Especially when you want to make them happy
And we all want to be happy

In my defense, I just didn't know what to say
I've watched one too many movies based on real life events and that's partial cause for who I am today
See life is just a mountain and we're going on a hike
And it might take us ages but eventually we'll make it to the top

So let's sing songs about the people that we love
Then let us all make sure that they've all heard the words we've sung
There's nothing worse than telling someone something they don't want to hear
Especially when you want to make them happy
And we all want to be happy

We've finally seen the places that we want to see
We've read the books that we told ourselves we'd always read
Now take my hand, we'll make it to the top
We've finally felt the warm embrace of apathy
We've been the people we were put upon this earth to be
Now take my hand, we'll make it to the top
That's where we want to be

So let's sing songs about the people that we love
Then let us all make sure that they've all heard the words we've sung
There's nothing worse than telling someone something they don't want to hear
Especially when you want to make them happy
And we all want to be happy
