But It's Not Like That

When you were young you thought you'd grow up so free
at least that's what I thought would happen to me
--but it's not like that
--but it's not like that

You make your choices while you're fooling around
you think you'll fix it once your judgement is sound
--but it's not like that
--but it's not like that

You're gonna turn yourself around
you're gonna change your mind
You're gonna switch yourself around about a hundred times
Oh, yeah, oh yeah

I've seen you make your biggest leaps on a dare
without a thought like you were lighter than air
maybe you like that
maybe you're like that

Your life's a mission with a purpose unseen
you think that someday you'll find out what it means
--but it's not like that
--but it's not like that

You're gonna have to leave your mark, right where it lies
The order may be tall, but you will have to try
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Inst.]

You thought forever it would all be the same
and if you counted on that that is a shame
--'cause it's not like that
--'cause it's not like that

You're gonna do just what you're going to do
Thought I could share what I discovered with you
--but it's not like that
--but it's not like that
--but it's not like that
