Mike Posner - Be As You Are
[00:13.18] Virginia Woolf and poetry
[00:14.93] No one seemed to notice me
[00:16.43] Being young was getting so old
[00:19.70] Cheap beer and cigarettes
[00:21.45] Life was like a movie set
[00:23.20] And I seemed to be given no role
[00:26.21] But in times of trouble
[00:27.72] I can turn to my mother
[00:29.47] And I know that she gon' understand
[00:32.23] So at age 18
[00:34.23] I cried to my mother
[00:35.99] And she told me, "young man"
[00:38.49] "There are moments when you fall to the ground
[00:41.50] But you are stronger than you feel you are now
[00:44.76] You don't always have to speak so loud, no
[00:49.02] Just be as you are
[00:51.78] Life is not always a comfortable ride
[00:54.79] Everybody's got scars that they hide
[00:58.30] And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
[01:02.56] Just be as you are"
[01:06.33] They played me on the radio
[01:07.83] And everything was changing, so
[01:09.58] I thought I was all the way grown
[01:12.59] But I can still remember in that cold November
[01:15.60] When I realized I'm all alone
[01:19.36] But in times of trouble
[01:20.87] I can turn to my mother
[01:22.37] And I know that she gon' understand
[01:25.13] So at age 22
[01:27.88] I cried to my mother
[01:28.89] And she told me, "young man"
[01:31.39] "There are moments when you fall to the ground
[01:34.40] But you are stronger than you feel you are now
[01:37.91] You don't always have to speak so loud, no
[01:41.92] Just be as you are
[01:44.43] It doesn't matter if you become some star
[01:47.93] Life is better when you open your heart
[01:51.19] You don't always have to act so hard, no
[01:55.45] Just be as you are (Just be as you are)"
[01:57.46] Be as you are (Whoa)
[02:05.73] Be as, be as you are (Be as you are)
[02:12.49] Be as you are
[02:18.51] (Be as you are) Be as, be as you are
[02:25.78] If I'm speaking truthfully
[02:27.28] I'm not who I used to be
[02:29.04] And I know some people might laugh
[02:32.05] 'Cause my music doesn't sound the same
[02:34.05] And my head's no longer shaved
[02:35.56] I'm worried if I'm on the right path
[02:38.57] But in times of trouble
[02:40.07] I can turn to my mother
[02:41.83] And I know that she gon' understand
[02:44.58] So at age 26
[02:46.59] I spoke to my mother
[02:48.59] And she told me, "young man"
[02:50.85] "There are moments when you fall to the ground
[02:54.11] But you are stronger than you feel you are now
[02:57.62] You don't always have to speak so loud, no
[03:01.38] Just be as you are
[03:04.13] It doesn't matter if you become some star
[03:07.14] Life is better when you open your heart
[03:10.65] You don't always have to act so hard, no
[03:14.91] Just be as you are (Be as you are)"
[03:18.67] Be as you are (Be as you are)
[03:25.44] Be as, be as you are (Be as you are)
[03:31.96] Be as you are (Be as you are)
[03:38.48] Be as, be as you are
[03:45.00] Be as you are
