Verse
How I waited so long, I’ll never ever know
I only had to take my things and go
There’s a world there waiting with people who don’t say
That isn’t quite the way that we behave
Pre-Chorus
Out of the darkness, into the light
Out of the darkness, you don’t know what you’re doing
And you don’t own my mind
Chorus
I’m a different person. I’m not girl you passed,
And looked right through me, because you’re different class
Now you want to know me, say I’ve got so much to give
I’ll see you later, I’ve got my life to live
And at home in my room, alone there with my tunes
I made a plan and saw the summer through
And despite an old tune, and what you may assume
You see sometimes that plans do not fall through
Pre-Chorus
Out of the darkness, into the light
Out of the darkness, you don’t know what you’re doing
And you don’t own my mind
Chorus
I’m a different person. I’m not girl you passed,
And looked right through me, because you’re different class
Now you want to know me, say I’ve got so much to give
I’ll see you later, I’ve got my life to live
