I’m fired up for no reason
And there’s something I can’t calm down.
One stimulus, a gentle push
Can take a smile from my frown.

The simple song resounds in my head;
My veins echo the beat.
But embarrassed, sometimes I turn away
To hide the blush of my cheek.

“These things will change,” she sings to me…
I decide I don’t want to wait
To argue, to fight, to take a stand,
To change these things I hate.

I’m fired up for no reason
And there’s something I can’t calm down.
And I really don’t want to—I wish to change
To smile, never again to frown.
