Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stuck my head out the window or in this case the ceiling
Oh, I wish I had the perfect word for this imperfect feeling
All my life I was told to "Look after yourself"
All my life I have felt like I'm somebody else
[Verse 2]
Put my foot on the pedal, and I fired up the vestibule
Wasted days doing things that other kids said were cool
Can't tell if I'm scared or if I'm excited
[Chorus]
I just want to be myself, and I'm so tired of hiding
I just want to be myself, I'm so tired of hiding
I just want to be myself, I'm so tired of hiding, yeah
[Verse 3]
And when I wake up, yeah, I don't feel like I slept
Every secret that I'm keepin' is a secret best kept
Wastin' so much time bein' somewhere I'm not
Never gettin' into shit, always scared of bein' caught
[Verse 4]
There's a hand on my throat, and it's stronger than God's
And some days, I'm ready to give up what I've got
But right when I feel that hand start to tighten
I remember all the birds I hear singing in the morning
And I fight with my muscles, and I push them away
And I stand up tall, like the birds, I sing
[Bridge]
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
[Bridge]
If everything is nothing
Then I guess I've got everything
Yeah, If everything is nothing
Nothing
Then I guess I've got everything, yeah
Everything
[Chorus]
I just want to be myself, and I'm so tired of hiding
I just want to be myself, and I'm so tired of hiding
I just want to be myself, I'm so tired of hiding
I just want to be myself, I'm so tired of hiding
Yeah, I'm so tired of hiding, yeah, I'm so tired of hiding, yeah
[Outro]
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
I just want to be myself, and I'm so tired of hiding it, yeah
