Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Suppose I said

I am on my best behavior

There are times

I lose my worried mind

[Verse 2]

Would you want me when I'm not myself?

Wait it out while I am someone else?

[Verse 3]

Suppose I said

Colors change for no good reason

Words will go

From poetry to prose

[Verse 4]

Would you want me when I'm not myself?

Wait it out while I am someone else?

[Verse 5]

And I, in time, will come around

I always do for you

[Verse 6]

Suppose I said

You're my saving grace

[Verse 7]

Would you want me when I'm not myself? (My grace, myself, not myself)

When I am someone else? (Wait it out while I am someone else?)

When I'm someone else, when I'm someone else, when I'm not myself?

[Verse 8]

Would you want me when I'm not myself?

Wait it out while I am someone else?
