You asked me to write a tune
all about the things that go wrong
and then you asked me to come home soon
to the place where I belong
But you stand on the other side
of the line in this place
and you can’t see me, you are blind
and this you can fake
no, this you can fake.
And sometimes, sometimes I wanna be
I scream that I wanna be
anyone but me.
And I don’t know if I can write about
chosen walls and the things you feel
and I don’t know if I can sing aloud
closing doors showing you what’s real
But I know when I close my eyes,
late at night, there’s only one thing
the night’s shown that she can lie
it’s your face, show me something
can you show me something
And sometimes, sometimes I wanna be
I scream that I wanna be
anyone but me.
What do you want me to say
all I know is love, it’s ok
I’ll write what I know
and you do the same
tell me I’m sane.
And sometimes, sometimes I wanna be
I scream that I wanna be
anyone but me
