Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born a life, 9 to 5
Gonna work till you die
Gonna hurt
Gonna learn to take it like a man
Find a girl, make a wife
Dig a fence, paint it white
What if I had another plan?
[Verse 2]
But what if I was made for the stage
What if I was made for the lights
What if I was chosen to write the stories
Wasn't built to work the line
Oh, what if I was different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Would I wanna be different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[Verse 3]
Man, it's cold, crack of dawn
Hear that old rooster crow
Coffee's on and ain't it never gonna change
Another night, same fight
Same girl, same guy
What if I wanna break the mundane?
[Verse 4]
What if I was made for the stage?
What if I was made for the lights?
What if I was chosen to write the stories
Wasn't built to work the line?
Oh, what if I was different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Would I wanna be different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[Verse 5]
Feels like I'm stuck in this rut
Tryin' to spin my way out, I can't figure it out
Don't know how
How I'm supposed to tell Mama and Daddy
Without them mad at me but I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
[Verse 6]
But what if I was made for the stage?
What if I was made for the lights?
What if I was chosen to write the stories?
Wasn't built to work the line?
Oh, what if I was different
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Would I wanna be different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I wanna be different (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I wanna be different (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
