What are the lyrics to Become from Edges the Musical?

Answer 1

Wake up every morning, shower and make some eggs.

Walk to work and get there right at 8.

Stock shelves and daydream of a scheme to rob the store.

Mop the floor and know it has to wait.

There you go, all these little moments

Watch them repeat nearly everyday

There I am, it's the same old bio

Ten hour shift then collect my pay, but

I know that something must be missing

This can't be how my whole life plays out

My dreams are ready to explode

But I've locked them up, what's that about?

But still I smile because I need to look strong

And all the while I soldier along

I know there's something much greater in me

But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become.

Meet the girls at breakfast a little after 1

Look at all the pictures from last night

Talk about that boy you met and how you bet you'll date

Ooh, but don't let that cute waiter out of site.

So there it is, do you understand me?

Now do you feel that you know my core?

There I am, that's my life on paper, but

Rip it up cause I'm needing more.

I feel like the world doesn't want to know me

Like there's some girl I should try to be

Sometimes I wish that I were her

Cause it seems more safe being me

But still I smile because I need to look strong

And all the while I soldier along

I know there's something much greater in me

But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become. Become.

Do I really wanna see, do I really wanna mess it all up to know?

Do I wanna live a life where I'll never be me?

Do I wanna grow?

Dinner plans with someone, he's the third this week

This one smells like paint and looks like Shrek

Act sweetly even though you know that you don't click.

Tell him you feel sick and split the check.

Well here I am in a little journal

With similar scribbles for every line.

Read it all and you'll think you get me

But most of the words are not even mine.

I feel this constant disconnection

But I don't know how to make it change

So I just face the world alone

And it looks alright, but it feels so strange.

And still I smile because I need to look strong

And all the while I soldier along

I know there's something much greater in me

But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become. Become.

Do I really wanna see, do I really wanna mess it all up to know?

Do I wanna live a life where I'll never be me?

Do I wanna grow?

Still awake at sunrise, staring at the screen

Counting friends online. Forget the sheep.

Try to figure out why Girl Scout cookies taste so good

The neighborhood wakes up, you fall asleep.

Take a look at the basic outline

One that is safe and without surprise

Learn it well, it's the life I'm living

A man who won't fail so he never tries, cause

Our lives are full of expectations.

I can't live up to what people need.

Sometimes I wonder what's the point

When I can't be sure that I'll succeed.

But still I smile because I need to look strong

And all the while I soldier along

I know there's something much greater in me

But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become. Become.

Do I really wanna see, do I really wanna mess it all up to know?

Do I wanna live a life where I'll never be me?

Do I wanna grow?

But still I smile because I need to look strong

And all the while I soldier along

I know there's something much greater in me

But I'm afraid to be who I am, who I want to become. Become. Become.
