Lost in a small town, filled with smaller dreams People never taking chances, keeping it as it seems But I myself choose to look further; find what's hidden To travel through a world unknown, I've got to dig under the skin And under this skin i find Love and mystery, let it be mine Find me this love because I've never known I'm tired of traveling through this small town alone And with this love brings me mystery With consorted feelings because there is no guarantee That this love will last or that it will end But as for now, on him I depend And I thank him for giving me everything I've never had For giving me the happiness that was once forbade And even for the pain, without I wouldn't know love Now even the tears are okay, without them, lack of therof As I say good-bye, I know times will be hard But I know our memories we will never disregard As you move on to a bigger town with bigger dreams Please, never forget the lonely girl in the town where everything's as it seems I myself will stay here, but take the first chance to get away Living with our mystery, until I reach that day The town folk look at me with bewildered eyes because I'm taking this chance But I bet alone, the disbelievers never danced "Why take a chance on a mystery?" they question "Why not try it for yourself?" is my suggestion Who wouldn't want to know if love lies under that skin Why wouldn't I want to know if my eternity lies with him The disbelievers ask me why again, as if its some sort of scam And they shake their heads and shrug their shoulders as if I give a damn Because the people here can't create my character or my self-worth As I close my eyes to their predictable lives, knowing mystery won't appear on their earth I wait alone in this small town, but I know everything will be okay Because there is an answer to my mystery and the rest will arrive someday In this small town, I have realized; with you is where I belong And I have a very good feeling that this realization isn't wrong.
