Me, Myself and No One Else
i think you should know
that i've been me
for a long while now
and i think you should know
that i'll be me again
here today, oh so down
yea i've been down for while now
but i think you should know
that i'm trying a little harder
to not be me in such a way
it offends you, yea
i wonder if i could wake up and not worry about a thing
take your responsibilities and do away with structure
time and all, i envy the luxury
i kind of like to think
i'd like to be a record player
static and bristles is all i'd have to worry about
to got out and play
and i could be compact or i could be a thumb tact
and i could make you smiling happy or i could make you hurt, yea
but then i would just be the same
and that's just what i want to change
i just want to change
and be someone somewhere new
if i could change you
i'd only ask you to help me change my
tired thoughts
i think you should know
that i've been me
for a long while now
and i think you should know
that i'll be me again
here today, oh so down
yea i've been down for while now
"would you if you could"
