Katy Perry - Box (with lyrics)

I was living in a small mind
With no lifeline
And no messages can reach me from the outside
When I looked out over the horizon
Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising

Then it hit me
Maybe bit me
Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me
I didn't know exactly where I would be going
But I had to let this river in me flowing

What a ride
When you open your eyes
For the very first time
A real surprise

I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive

I was living on a fault line
The fault was all mine
And this unstable ground found me down half the time
But I had enough
I had to get up
I had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff

Then it hit me
You won't permit me
To be an individual
Just doesn't fit me
But I decided that it's going to be living
Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison

What a high
When you open your mind for the very first time
A real surprise

I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive

So long conformity
And ambiguality is a new priority
All it takes, for heaven sakes
Is to figure out the face and learn to seperate

I started living outside for the box
Taking my time when I always used to rush
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I broke down the walls for my liberation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive

Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside

Ha ha ha

I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation

Oh, living outside of the box
Of the box, of your life
Of everything that seems that nice

Always the same comments...

1. Typical "replay button" comment

2. Something about Justin Bieber

3. A 'pop music sucks, remember the days of good rock' comment

4. An 'I love this song it is my life' comment

5. Something relating the thumbs downs to the song like "181 people are so gay"

6. A comment that simply states the lyrics of the song

AND SO MANY MORE. Am I right? Jesus Christ...

[LeskaViGa]

@ValerieJ98 jajajaja and the typical: "thumbs up if you're.... *something*" comment

[skyey2000]

@skyey2000 Katy Hudson's all christian and naive. Looking at One Of The Boys, she had changed and grown from the sound of her lyrics (less "man upstairs", more boy next door talk), was still trying to find out who she was at the time and who she wanted to be. I mean sure some of Teenage Dream has less depth on a couple of songs but so does One Of The Boys. I think it's just natural development with some industry influence

[skyey2000]

I'm undecided on the whole sellout argument. On one hand people change and experiment with different styles of music and different looks at the time. If you look at all three albums there's a drastic change album to album.

[aliciababy4498]

Umm.... I'm not too sure if I like this song or not. And yeah, her songs can't be any better than One Of The Boys or Teenage Dream. Her new songs I'm hearing on you tube unreleased.... Not so good.... Ugh...

I looooove this song! -3

[gtazogger]

How older Katy perry gets her songs become much less meaning. Her older songs were much more dark and expressive ...
