I start thinking
And my head spins around
So many questions
And answers to be found

And I'm wondering
What life is about
All my convictions
Are now full of doubt

You said I came here
To open my mind
Now I'm struggling
I feel like I'm blind

I don't know where I'm going anymore
Don't know what's in front of me;
What the future has in store

I'm free falling
Through a sky that never ends
I'm not grounded
But I'll guess I'll pretend

That I'm okay
And I'm doing just fine
But in reality
I'm losing my mind

You told me
That this was a place
To find myself
But I'm losing all faith

And I'm wondering
If I should just turn around
If the answers
Are not to be found

I want to close the doors
I want to go back inside
I know safe places
Where I can hide

From this confusion
That's weighing me down
I want to go back
I want to be homeward bound

Let me go back
To the place that I know
Where the people haven't changed
Where I don't need to grow

But I can't quit now
I've lost too many fights
I need to win some
I think I've earned that right

So I'll stay here
At least for now
Say a prayer
That I'll manage somehow

Cuz I'm free falling
Through a sky that never ends
I'm not grounded
But I guess I'll just pretend

This pretty much sums up how I felt when I went to college.
