Lyrics
You can stop acting your age
Don’t bother fitting in
If you play that game
You know you will never win
You don’t have to be cool
You don’t have to be hot
You’re so much more than that
You can believe it or not
When you think you are you
It’s only partially true
Because you are also everyone
From a different point of view
You are the universe
When you know at first glance
Life not a problem
It’s just a circumstance
You are the universe
When you feel the pain of others
Then you are just like them
In all their colors
You are the universe
So get up and dance
Shake off that existentialism
Feel the expanse
You may think you’re awesome
You may feel really small
Don’t buy into that game
Jump off of that seesaw
You are not your emotions
You are not your mind
They are your closest environment
So close they made you blind
If it seems incomprehensible
Don’t give it second thought
It’s not about believing anything
It's not a mental knot
Sometimes you’re the mortician
Sometimes you drive the hearse
You may be a tombstone artist
But you’re always the universe
You are the universe
When you know at first glance
Life not a problem
It’s just a circumstance
You are the universe
when you can feel the pain of others.
Then you are just like them
In all of their colors
You are the universe
So get up and dance
Shake off that existentialism
Feel the expanse
You can stop acting your age
Don’t bother fitting in
If you play that game
You know you will never win
You don’t have to be cool
You don’t have to be hot
You’re so much more than that
You can believe it or not
When you think you are you
It’s only partially true
Because you are also everyone
From a different point of view
You are the universe
When you know at first glance
Life not a problem
It’s just a circumstance
You are the universe
When you feel the pain of others
Then you are just like them
In all their colors
You are the universe
So get up and dance
Shake off that existentialism
Feel the expanse
You may think you’re awesome
You may feel really small
Don’t buy into that game
Jump off of that seesaw
You are not your emotions
You are not your mind
They are your closest environment
So close they made you blind
If it seems incomprehensible
Don’t give it second thought
It’s not about believing anything
It's not a mental knot
Sometimes you’re the mortician
Sometimes you drive the hearse
You may be a tombstone artist
But you’re always the universe
You are the universe
When you know at first glance
Life not a problem
It’s just a circumstance
You are the universe
when you can feel the pain of others.
Then you are just like them
In all of their colors
You are the universe
So get up and dance
Shake off that existentialism
Feel the expanse
