Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Virginia Woolf and poetry

No one seemed to notice me

Being young was getting so old

Cheap beer and cigarettes

Life is like a movie set

And I seemed to be given no role

[Verse 2]

But in times of trouble

I can turn to my mother

And I know that she gonna understand

So at age eighteen

I cried to my mother

And she told me, young man

[Verse 3]

There are moments

When you fall to the ground

But you are stronger than

You feel you are now

You don't always have to

Speak so loud

No

Just be as you are

[Verse 4]

Life is not always a comfortable ride

Everybody's got scars that they hide

And everybody plays the fool sometimes

Yeah

[Verse 5]

Just be as you are

[Verse 6]

They played me on the radio

And everything was changing so

I thought I was all the way grown

But I can still remember

In that cold November

When I realized I'm all alone

[Verse 7]

But in times of trouble

I can turn to my mother

And I know that she gonna understand

So at age twenty-two

I cried to my mother

And she told me, young man

[Verse 8]

There are moments

When you fall to the ground

But you are stronger than

You feel you are now

You don't always have to

Speak so loud

No

[Verse 9]

Just be as you are

[Verse 10]

It doesn't matter

If you become some star

Life is better when you open your heart

You don't always have to

Act so hard

No

[Verse 11]

Just be as you are

[Verse 12]

There are moments

When you fall to the ground

But you are stronger than

You feel you are now

You don't always have to

Speak so loud

No

[Verse 13]

Just be as you are

[Verse 14]

It doesn't matter

If you become some star

Life is better when you open your heart

You don't always have to

Act so hard

No

[Verse 15]

Just be as you are

[Verse 16]

(Just be as you are)
