[Verse 1]
How long has it been since I felt this way?
Every time my heart tickles
I drew back as I got scared
No one would ever count this
Worries like these things
People who aren't me set the standard for weirdness
And they’ve defined me without asking how I felt
My love is a disease now
I swear no one has ever felt so alone like this
[Chorus]
These are things that wе all can find out when we grow up
We'rе the strange ones who live in this world of strange rules
Let's not collapse
And let's not get used to the hurt
I'd like to tell these to pacify and comfort him
That 17-year-old boy
[Verse 2]
My blue heart is now more used to giving up than expecting
And in the mirror, a strange dark bearded man is staring at me
So my blue heart asked him "Who are you?"
Let's ignore what the people who hate us say
Let's not be hurt by believing those words
What would it have been like
If someone told these words to little me?
[Chorus]
These are things that we all can find out when we grow up
We're the strange ones who live in this world of strange rules
Let's not collapse
And let's not get used to the hurt
I'd like to tell these to pacify and comfort him
That 17-year-old boy
[Verse 3]
It's a parade, rain or shine, not a marathon
I can dance even in the rain
This show will and must go on
I have a dream in my heart
Even it is abandoned and ragged
I told you, "Miracles always come true as much as it believed"
I stand crooked, but I never fall apart
Like the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Sweating the weave out
Changing words to speak out
From "poverty" to the "hope," I'm not gonna deceive my heart
I’ll shout it out this, “Viva La Vida”
[Chorus]
These are things that we all can find out when we grow up
We’re the strange ones who live in this world of strange rules
Let's not collapse
And let's not get used to the hurt
I'd like to tell these to pacify and comfort him
To a 17-year-old boy
[Outro]
The starting point of your journey to find out who you are
Maybe it feels scary
Then don't you ever be afraid and just take my hand
You know, you have to be yourself
It's the way to love yourself
I'd like to tell these to pacify and comfort
To 17-year-old me
