Shape Up

[Verse 1] When I tell the story of this decade The memories and melodies are never the same I knew that we prevailed Knew it all too well, never end up stale Another thing that I wish I knew Is how you're gonna sit me down and make me choose There's no doubt it will turn around [Chorus] So I'll tell myself that I'm not a victim But I'll own up to the mistakes that I made I can see through it all The world's never gonna fall back Ask where you're at Out with the old, let the truth be told Shape up, and stand tall [Verse 2] When I tell you why I don't act my age It compliments the fact that you've got nothing to say I knew that it took time and a fucked up mind Just to stay in line But all the value I could demonstrate And all the places that I've grown to hate Well, they bring life, so I'll say it twice I just wanna know what it's like to rebel [Chorus] So I'll tell myself that I'm not a victim But I'll own up to the mistakes that I made I can see through it all The world's never gonna fall back Ask where you're at Out with the old, let the truth be told Shape up, and stand tall [Bridge] I could lie if you wanted But in the night I think of all this time and all this space And all the tracks in the dirt that we could retrace back home I'm not alone Don't put my story back on it's shelf I was choked up but my tongue untied itself [Chorus] So I'll tell myself that I'm not a victim But I'll own up to the mistakes that I made I can see through it all The world's never gonna fall back Ask where you're at Out with the old, let the truth be told Shape up, and stand tall
