lyrics

And I think about the day that you changed and left LA
Looking back, I wonder why I was scared of your reply
Knowing how I was so wrong wanting you to come along
Sighing more and breathing less
Now, I've learned I'm not scared
I'm not scared

People tell me that I'm not too bright
And I don't know so I suppose they're right
But there's nothing I can do now
I'm so in love with you now
And I'm much too old to think I'll be okay

Anywhere you go, anywhere, the fool follows

And then, when I finish My Book
I'll ask you to take a look
At sing-song lines of treacly prose
And cloying verse that I have chose
To signify a deeper feel
Of things I did to try to heal
Footnote: the theme is lost on me
But I know I'm not scared
I'm not scared

People tell me that I'm not too bright
And I don't know so I suppose they're right
But there's nothing I can do now
I'm so in love with you now
And I'm much too old to think I'll be okay

Anywhere you go, anywhere, the fool follows

If you told me that I'd still carry this against my will
I would tell you not to change or your life to rearrange
I'm not scared

People tell me that I'm not too bright
And I don't know so I suppose they're right
But there's nothing I can do now
I'm so in love with you now
And I'm much too old to feel I'll be okay

Anywhere you go, anywhere, the fool follows
