We Can Be Anything

I was crying at the party
Which is not unusual of me
I was sitting all alone
I heard somebody say, "Hello?"
I looked up to see a girl
She said, "What's wrong?" I said, "The world"
She said, "Well, what's so bad about it?"
I said, "Everything about it"

She said, "Don't be so defeatist"
I said, "Well, don't be so naïve
It's a simple fact that nothing matters
And life will go on in my absence"
She said, "A life devoid of meaning
Is a life of total freedom"
I said, "I don't get what your point is
My life is still completely pointless"

She said, "Open up your mind
Baby, in this life"

We can be anything
(We can be anything)
That's awesome, don't you think?
(That's awesome, don't you think?)
We can be anything
(We can be anything)
That's awesome, don't you think?
(That's awesome, don't you think?)

So I was heading back home
Feeling a little less alone
I was sitting on the train
Mulling it over in my brain
That's when I saw somebody crying
I'll be on my silver lining
I said, "Why are you upset?"
She said, "Well, nothing makes sense"

I said, "Hey, don't be so defeatist"
She said, "Well, don't be so naïve
It's been proven space is exponential
So this is all inconsequential"
I said, "If it's inconsequential
Then there's infinite potential"
She said, "But what's the fucking purpose?
It's all just still completely worthless"

I said, "Open up your mind
Baby, in this life"

We can be anything
(We can be anything)
That's awesome, don't you think?
(That's awesome, don't you think?)
We can be anything
(We can be anything)
That's awesome, don't you think?
(That's awesome, don't you think?)

We can be anything
(We can be anything)
That's awesome, don't you think?
(That's awesome, don't you think?)
We can be anything
(We can be anything)
That's awesome, don't you think?
(That's awesome, don't you think?)

We can be anything
(We can be anything)
That's awesome, don't you think?
(That's awesome, don't you think?)
We can be anything
(We can be anything)
That's awesome, don't you think?
(That's awesome, don't you think?)

We can be anything
That's awesome, don't you think?
We can be anything
That's awesome, don't you think?
