I have always had this fear
A ghost brought forth in teenage years
To let out what's hidden inside of me
Maybe I wasn't meant to be
Is it ever gonna be okay when I'm older
Will I ever find a place where I can be free
Will I ever find a person who would
Lay with me through the night
And hold me close while the thunder booms outside
My beaming smile will cover that I see
A tide of freezing water coming in in front of me
And I'm awake till midnight dreaming
Of someone perfect, someone who would
Throw a rock at my window
Take me for drives just going slow and
Play the boom box stereo
Until we fall asleep
Forget about the times when we were
Crying all alone and couldn't
See a future there for us
Is it ever gonna be okay when I'm older
Will I ever find a place where I can be free
Will I ever find a person who would
Lay with me through the night
And hold me close while the thunder booms outside
Lay your head on my heart
Tune your ear to my voice
Listen close and I will say
It's all gonna be okay
We will find a way
To make it through
Is it ever gonna be okay when I'm older
Will I ever find a place where I can be free
Will I ever find a person who would
Lay with me through the night
And hold me close while the thunder booms outside
Will I ever find a person who would
Lay with me through the night
And hold me close while the thunder booms outside
