Go Make Us Proud

I got your time capsule that was made ten years ago Ian, things aren't as simple anymore Being young and held, well, I could breathe Now my breath is held from anxiety As a kid I could count on my social skills Now I'm counting pills to be vocal I'm not hopeful Oh, you said change the world Yeah, you said make a difference I made that my purpose And I've been drowning ever since Go make us proud Go make us proud Go make us proud Go make us proud Picking up a pen and paper Filled my head with possibilities Now picking a path is just impossible Thanks for these goggles from the pool Now I teach lessons, think that's cool? But I feel like I'm failing and falling short It's a sport that's unveiling worries of all sorts Oh, you made books and toys Now my joys don't exist If I met you, how would I explain the pain to persist? Go make us proud Go make us proud Go make us proud Go make us proud While you can relax, I keep thinking about passing time Tick, tick, I gotta love this quick, no, I'm not fine Gotta love this fast, gotta make this moment last But last decade wasn't overcast, but that's in the past No, I can't relax, I'm socially anxious "Are we happy now?" You're kidding, we are way less You're an extrovert, I am kind of an outcast I shake and sweat when a conversation I have Leads to me not being me Anxiety is crushing me The recipe to being free Is out of reach I need the key To finally leave this fever dream Oh, Ian, are you proud of me? I swear I'll make the next decade better from the last I made In a decade am I okay? Future me, did I stay Worried 'bout what they all say? Will I be okay one day? Will I be okay one day? Will I be okay one day? Will I be okay one day? Go make us proud Go make us proud Go make us proud Go make us proud
