Story Behind The Song

Katy: I used to live in a town named Hartland where, for the most part, I didn't fit in. I found myself ridiculed often and would sit alone in my room and reflect on how much it sucked. Thus, this song was created.

Song Description

This is a song about being young and confused.

Lyrics

Someday when I am growing old,
And my whole disposition is cold,
I'll remember the bitter days,
and hope to see them in different ways,
and as I'm laying there in bed,
with all these thoughts going through my head,
will I sit in disbelief,
or find a moment of relief,

Is this the beginning
or maybe just the ending
of everything we want
a simple little answer
and everlasting answer
that will forever haunt me
do I need the answer
do I seek the answer
to a world that I don't know
or will I let my knowledge grow

Sour words escape from me,
float down the stream into the sea,
the sea is black from love it did lack,
and now I'm all alone,
And as I sit under the shade,
waiting for all of this to fade,
how I hope for it to crack,
so I don't ever have to look back,

Is this the beginning
or maybe just the ending
of everything we want
a simple little answer
and everlasting answer
that will forever haunt me
do I need the answer
do I seek the answer
to a world that I don't know
or will I let my knowledge grow

Oh lordy do I play this game,
Or do I dismiss it in shame,
I'm left here baffled and confused,
left here alone and refused.

Is this the beginning
or maybe just the ending
of everything we want
a simple little answer
and everlasting answer
that will forever haunt me
do I need the answer
do I seek the answer
to a world that I don't know
or will I let my knowledge grow
