Born And Raised Lyrics

Now and then I pace my place
I can't retrace how I got here
I cheat and lie to check my fates
It's slightly harder than last year
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e85495-john_mayer~born_and_raised_lyrics.html ]
[CHORUS]
And all at once it gets hard to take
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

I still have dreams, they're not the same
They don't fly as high as they used to
I saw my friend, he's in my head
And he said, "You don't remember me, do you?"

[CHORUS]
Then all at once it gets hard to take
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

I still got time, I still got faith
I call on both of my brothers
I got a mom, I got a dad
But they do not have each other

[CHORUS]
So ride on up, take your place
And show your face to the morning
Cause one of these days you'll be born and raised
And it takes you on without warning
