The Box Lyrics - Katy Perry

1 I was living in a small mind

2 With no lifeline

3 And no messages can reach me from the outside

4 When I looked out over the horizon

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

6 Then it hit me

7 Maybe bit me

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

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

10 But I had to let this river in me flowing

11 What a ride

12 When you open your eyes

13 For the very first time

14 A real surprise

15 I started living outside of the box

16 Crossing over lines where I always used to stop

17 Living outside of the box

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

19 I always knew this day would come

20 When I got off my back, found some motivation

21 I've been living on the other side

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

23 I was living on a fault line

24 The fault was all mine

25 And this unstable ground found me down half the time

26 But I had enough

27 I had to get up

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

29 Then it hit me

30 You won't permit me

31 To be an individual

32 Just doesn't fit me

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

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

35 What a high

36 When you open your mind for the very first time

37 A real surprise

38 I started living outside of the box

39 Crossing over lines where I always used to stop

40 Living outside of the box

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

42 I always knew this day would come

43 When I got off my back, found some motivation

44 I've been living on the other side

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

46 So long conformity

47 And ambiguality is a new priority

48 All it takes, for heaven sakes

49 Is to figure out the face and learn to seperate

50 I started living outside for the box

51 Taking my time when I always used to rush

52 Living outside of the box

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

54 I always knew this day would come

55 When I broke down the walls for my liberation

56 I've been living on the other side

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

58 Oh, living outside of the box

59 Oh, living outside of the box

60 Oh, living outside

61 Ha ha ha

62 I always knew this day would come

63 When I got off my back, found some motivation

64 Oh, living outside of the box

65 Of the box, of your life

66 Of everything that seems that nice
