The Box (Katy Perry)

I was living in a small mind With no lifeline And no messages can reach me from the outside When I looked out over the horizon Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising Then it hit me Maybe bit me Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me I didn't know exactly where I would be going But I had to let this river in me flowing What a ride When you open your eyes For the very first time A real surprise I started living outside of the box Crossing over lines where I always used to stop Living outside of the box 'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not I always knew this day would come When I got off my back, found some motivation I've been living on the other side Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive I was living on a fault line The fault was all mine And this unstable ground found me down half the time But I had enough I had to get up I had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff Then it hit me You won't permit me To be an individual Just doesn't fit me But I decided that it's going to be living Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison What a high When you open your mind for the very first time A real surprise I started living outside of the box Crossing over lines where I always used to stop Living outside of the box 'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not I always knew this day would come When I got off my back, found some motivation I've been living on the other side Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive So long conformity And ambiguality is a new priority All it takes, for heaven sakes Is to figure out the face and learn to seperate I started living outside for the box Taking my time when I always used to rush Living outside of the box 'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not I always knew this day would come When I broke down the walls for my liberation I've been living on the other side Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive Oh, living outside of the box Oh, living outside of the box Oh, living outside Ha ha ha I always knew this day would come When I got off my back, found some motivation Oh, living outside of the box Of the box, of your life Of everything that seems that nice
