Lyrics for Special

Want to be special, something like your mother Want to be someone else, not me, but another Right here in this moment, I wish I could reach you I'm just a vessel, far away, I see you Too many like us, run out of the steeple Guess you could say I lost some faith in people Want every thought to be golden or fire I could be made out of truth, not some liar Want to be tempered, sick to be tested To see it all clearly, whenever it's rested Want every lesson, the lessons they teach me Someone who knows where I am, whenever they reach me Give me a fever, show me some reason Love me whenever it's out of season Want to be special, something like your mother Want to be someone else, not me, but another But now in this moment, I wish I could meet you But I'm just a balloon, far away, I see you I see you I see you I see you, and it's unclear I need you to show you're here Tell me, I'm nothing to fear Tell me, I'm nothing, nothing
