If I told you I wasn't scared
If I told you I'd be right there
Would you laugh or would you listen?
Would you follow my lead?
If I brought you a nectarine pit
And you didn't know what it was
Would you believe me
if I told you that it'd be a tree?
Oh, sometimes I think I'm the only one
Not afraid of what will become
And why kid yourself, there's a lot of stuff
You should really be more afraid of
I could tell you there's murderers
And burglars all at large
All heavy "R" words
And that's just off the top
Be afraid of the dark or the park late at night
So get a night light
But don't fear connection
Or human affection
Oh, sometimes I think I'm the only one
Not afraid of what will become
And why kid yourself, there's a lot of stuff
You should really be more afraid of
'Cause there's spiders and monsters and sharks in the sea
Holy war, racists, and misogyny
If I were afraid of what I didn't know
I'd spend my days hiding under my pillows
Let's walk into the great unknown
With our feet bare and our eyes wide
Take in the scenery of possibility
If I told you I wasn't scared
If I told you I'd be right there
Do you think you could trust me
To catch you when you fall?
Oh, sometimes I think I'm the only one
Not afraid of what will become
And why kid yourself, there's a lot of stuff
You should really be more afraid of
