i don't know how to say this
i just wanna be famous
i want everyone from my high school to remember what my name is
feelin like I'm washed up
my whole life's been wasted
i am twenty-seven and for some reason
that feels ancient
i cannot explain it
i think it's all these young kids
doin what I couldn't
doin what I never did
i wanted to be somethin
talkin with my cousin
ridin bikes til sunset
thought the dream was real, but it wasn't
i always hoped eventually
i'd be who i was meant to be
but i'm stuck in my anatomy
i can't be somethin more than me
do i really have to be myself?
yeah dude, you can't be anyone else
do i really have to be myself?
again, yes, like, who else would you even be?
do i really have to be myself?
Look, even if you changed every single thing about yourself, you would still be you
do i really have to be myself?
you know what, no, you don't, you can be anybody you want

you call from massachusetts
i'm in ohio gettin sad
yeah i get a little emotional
when i think about my dad
and this little kid i used to know
all the time we used to have
yeah i knew it would be difficult
i didn't know it'd be this bad
you've gotta go
i say goodnight
and fall into the frame against the light
you call me from new orleans
i'm in boston gettin scared
i go on about the future
and how we get from here to there
and i say living in the present
is so impossible to bear
i am trying to express to you
how much i miss your hair
you've gotta go
i say okay
but all i really want's for you to stay
i know i will miss this too
don't know why i always do
you've gotta go
i say goodnight
and fall into the frame against the light
