Boy In Cheer Video (MV)

I want a big, strong heart and capacity to care
Your eyes are in the stars seeking life that isn't there
I want to see less of the pain that you've inherited
And be impressed by your dignity in sharing it

Be impressed, be, be impressed
Be impressed, be, be impressed

Turn on a dime
Intersection with the wrong signs

Be impressed, be, be impressed
Be impressed, be, be impressed

By the big, strong arms when you walked me up the stairs
And the punk rock charm that persisted through the Air Force
So I followed you along; I really longed to be your friend
You didn't want to be a father and felt haunted by regret

Be impressed, be, be impressed
Be impressed, be, be impressed

Turn on a dime
Intersection with the wrong signs

Be impressed, be, be impressed
Be impressed, be, be impressed

You remade yourself trying to get back at the world
Only retained the shell that protected you
From those who made you feel
Like a little girl

Be aggressive, be, be aggressive
Be aggressive, be, be aggressive
Be aggressive, be, be aggressive
Be aggressive, be, be aggressive

I want to stress you out with a thousand-mile stare
I know you're just a child with ambition; I don't care
I am super-didactic; don't look me in the mouth
I was a sweetheart classic, but starting to push it down

I've been swimming in the sound, stuck with the vision of a man
Who fashioned himself an icon and made me his sycophant
I don't care that you're lonely; you can grab for an excuse
You may have given me the half-Windsor but I'll hand it back to you as a noose
