Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn
About the family you come from?
No giving up
When you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
Waking up in the midday sun
What's to live for?
You could see what I've done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running
From the things that you'd say
(Chorus)
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn
About the family you come from?
No giving up
When you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
I was a boy at an open door
Why you staring?
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you
(Chorus)
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn
About the family you come from?
No giving up
When you're young and you want some
Now I'm sitting alone
I'm finally looking around
Left here on my own
I'm gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I'm still wondering why
Had to let the world, let it bleed me dry
We are not what you think we are, we are...
We are not what you think we are, we are...
We are not what you think we are, we are...
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn
About the family you come from?
No giving up
When you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
