Andy Bell Statement Of Intent
[Verse 1]
So you started out with big dreams
All the things you'd like to do
Turns out one thousand people want it
Just as much as you
Well life's not about conforming
Ending up like all the rest
No now lose the self indulgence
Not the brightest or the best
[Pre-Chorus]
When you see who you want to be
But they're just out of reach
It seems that self assurance
Is the one thing they don't teach
It'll all be better next year
When you find some place to go
As if still after twenty years
It don't matter what you know
[Chorus]
Message after message
Till I'm not sure what they meant
Please heed my statement of intent
[Verse 2]
Sit down, relax, calm down
Just try and be yourself
All this when social media
Becomes your living hell
It seems just like a front
It's there to catch you when you fall
Cause despite all these connections
We're the loneliest of all
[Pre-Chorus]
When you see who you want to be
But they're just out of reach
It seems that self assurance
Is the one thing they don't teach
It'll all be better next year
When you find some place to go
As if still after twenty years
It don't matter what you know
[Chorus]
Message after message
Till I'm not sure what they meant
Please heed my statement of intent
[Verse 3]
You're saying yes, I'll be an adult
Look at the all the things I know
But we're standing at the crossroads
No idea which way to go
What's the point in writing something
If you don't have much to say
Lord knows it took a long time
Now I think I've found my way
[Pre-Chorus]
When you see who you want to be
But they're just out of reach
It seems that self assurance
Is the one thing they don't teach
It'll all be better next year
When you find some place to go
As if still after twenty years
It don't matter what you know
[Chorus]
Message after message
Till I'm not sure what they meant
Please heed my statement of intent
