Lyrics:
Still don’t know who I wanna be
Every single person that I see I think
I wanna be you
I wanna be you

When I look in the mirror feel so empty inside
When I’m all alone it’s almost like I’ve died
And I think
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

But I still don’t know who I wanna be
Every single person that I see I think
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

Feel so empty when I look inside 
When I’m all alone it’s almost like I’ve died and I think

I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

I Wanna Be You

Fiesta Siesta

Taking photos and reading books
It's taking longer than it ever took
I find it hard to find the time I need so bad
I need to show you that I'm on your side;
Need to show you all the love I've tried to hide
At least I'll try

Winter's coming and I'll keep running to keep my body warm
But the cold creeps in through the cracks in my windows and through my bedroom door

The days are short and the nights are cold
Sometimes I wish that I could bend and fold away (just for a day)
No-one would see me, that'd be fine
Then maybe I could find the time to find some time (find my mind)

Winter's coming and I'll keep running to keep my body warm
But the cold creeps in through the cracks in my windows and through my bedroom door

You're on a journey but you ain't got far
You've got a license but you've got no car
You're not so wise, and there's no guiding star...

Taking pictures and writing hooks,
I never finished half those bloody books;
Never showed you I was on your side;
Never showed you all the love I tried to hide
At least I tried...

Winter's coming and I'll keep running to keep my body warm
But the cold creeps in through the cracks in my windows and through my bedroom door

Everybody's going their way,
They're all talking I've got nothing to say
My mind's a cloud and it's a windy day.

Lyrics:
I can see how people settle when they’re tired of hitting walls
I can why you’d give up taking the fall
But the moss just gathers when the rolling stops
But the moss is bills and paperwork
Why don’t you just admit it? This is mundane
But sometimes boring is better than pain
Easy is easy, Netflix and chill
Do your chores and pay your bills

Maybe I’m in a rut but it’s comfortable here
Maybe I’ll stay for a year

Don’t you feel like a failure, doing as you’re told?
Looking at your reflection as you get old?
And hearing the voice inside your head
That sounds like the things your parents said
You were never as wild as you’d like to think
You’ve never made it past your fourth drink
But your inner child is alive and well
But your inner child is boring as hell

Maybe I’m in a rut but it’s comfortable here
Maybe I’ll stay for a year

Sleep on it now, it will go away
You’re not alone, there’s another way
Sleep on it now, it will go away
The plan is the plan, you’ve got to let it stray

Maybe I’m in a rut but it’s comfortable here
Maybe I’ll stay for a year

Comfortable Here

"If I had a portal
Just a little portal
I could stick my head in
I would stick my head in the clouds
And see how big the world can be

If I had a portal
Just a little portal
I could stick my head in
I would stick my head in the woods
And see how green the world can be

Don't know why I live here
If I don't really love here
Think maybe I do though
Maybe I don't know it yet

If I had a portal
Just a little portal
I could stick my head in
I would stick my head underground
And see so deep beneath my feet

Don't know why I live here
If I don't really love here
Think maybe I do though
Maybe I don't know it yet

If I had a portal
Just a little portal
I could stick my head in
I would stick my head in the clouds
And see how big the world can be"
