Will i ever pass the test of worth
In search of independence
Maybe insane but i'm a dreamer
And my time is of the essence

Chorus:

Alone away
Off to one side
And no other way
I watch and i wait
When it's time
Well i won't hesitate
Cause all i really want is
Sha la la la la la la la la la la

Can it be so hip
To want it all
To be so exotic
Success to me
Is all i ever want to be
It'd be so erotic

Chorus:

Alone, away
Off to one side
No other way
I watch and i wait
When it's time
Well i won't hesitate
Cause all i'm trying to say is
Sha la la la la la la la la la la

To compromise a lifelong dream
Would drop a wrench in the machine
Regret will reign like a king
And tear apart my self esteem

I watch and i wait
When it's time
I won't hesitate
Cause all i really want is
Sha la la la la la la la la la la
