Box Lyrics - Katy Perry

1 I was living in a small mind with no lifeline

2 And no messages can reach me from the outside

3 When I looked out over the horizon

4 Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising

5 Then it hit me, maybe bit me

6 Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me

7 I didn't know exactly where I would be going

8 But I had to let this river in me flowing

9 What a ride

10 When you open your eyes

11 For the very first time

12 A real surprise

13 I started living outside of the box

14 Crossing over lines where I always used to stop

15 Living outside of the box

16 'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not

17 I always knew this day would come

18 When I got off my back, found some motivation

19 I've been living on the other side

20 Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive

21 I was living on a fault line, the fault was all mine

22 And this unstable ground found me down half the time

23 But I had enough, I had to get up

24 I had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff

25 Then it hit me, you won't permit me

26 To be an individual just doesn't fit me

27 But I decided that it's going to be living

28 Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison

29 What a high

30 When you open your mind

31 For the very first time

32 A real surprise

33 I started living outside of the box

34 Crossing over lines where I always used to stop

35 Living outside of the box

36 'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not

37 I always knew this day would come

38 When I got off my back, found some motivation

39 I've been living on the other side

40 Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive

41 So long conformity

42 And ambiguality is a new priority

43 All it takes, for heaven sakes

44 Is to figure out the face and learn to separate

45 I started living outside for the box

46 Taking my time when I always used to rush

47 Living outside of the box

48 'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not

49 I always knew this day would come

50 When I broke down the walls for my liberation

51 I've been living on the other side

52 Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive

53 Oh, living outside of the box

54 Oh, living outside of the box

55 Oh, living outside

56 Ha ha ha

57 I always knew this day would come

58 When I got off my back, found some motivation

59 Oh, living outside of the box, of the box, of your life

60 Of everything that seems that nice
