I show up in every town
Revising our history
The way it deserves to be told
And how life must be lived forwards
But looking back
Is how you learn to understand it

I just wanted you to know
I'm not angry anymore
I just needed you to know
I'm not bitter anymore

And when I like a movie
I've learned to admit that I like it
And when I talk about beliefs
I explain why I feel the way that I do
And yeah, I threw away my TV
Forcing myself to read a lot more
Somehow, I'm not angry anymore

I'm finally free, I'm finally happy
I'm ready to offer you the respect
That you've always deserved
And if you don't accept it
If I acted a bit too immature
I'll make it up to you, I swear
I'll earn your respect
Not through words, but through actions

I'll actually start giving to the poor
I won't lie about it anymore
I'll volunteer my time
I'll take a stand against crime
I'll donate all those clothes
That remind me of my past
To the the salvation army
And I'll get the irony

I shaved my face this morning
I cut my hair just an hour ago
And I bought some decent clothes
From a convenience store
And I'm ready to start my life over
Withut making myself a victim in my mind
I'm wise enough to know that everything
Absolutely everything, gets better with time

I'm old enough to have a life
But I'm willing to accept that I'll die
It doesn't mean it was for nothing
It's just just time, making me realize
I have to get off my ass
And into the spot light
It's telling me to touch someone
Anyway I can

Anyway that I can, Anyway that I can
