This is my imagination
This is how it looks and sounds
But I gotta go so much bigger
So they can never shut me down
I'm kinda scared of graduation
'Cause who am I when this is done?
I wanna be next up forever
So the best is always yet to come

Chorus

Welcome to the Neotheater
                            Dm   Gm
Won't everybody take their seats?
                      A#   D#
And I'll be next up forever
                                   Dm Cm
'Cause I don’t know what’s coming next
                               D#
I know I gotta grow up sometime
                       F
But I don't think I'm ready yet

I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I'm not fucking ready yet
Your eyes are open, so never close them
You'll sail the ocean, finding where you should be
And if you're broken, you'll make your own thing
You'll make it so big for all the world to see
You'll make it so damn big for all the world to see
