I Am

Always searching for the right words Always longing for a vowel Maybe I don't talk enough for you But I mean every word Always searching for the right chords Even though they're just the same I'm not a musician nor a guitarist I'm just strumming along So let me introduce myself This is who I am I am the songs I sing And the days I want to live Maybe I'm just another face in the crowd But I hope to stand up high and proud When they call my name I still read myself in Basket Case And Welcome to the NHK I'm a singer looking for redemption and love Just like Mumford and his sons You can blame me for getting music In red bedrooms and white coats Cause I find comfort in a Scrubs episode After a heavy-hearted day So let me introduce myself This is who I am I am the songs I sing And the days I want to live Maybe I'm just another face in the crowd But I hope to stand up high and proud When they call my name Ain't got a pretty face or a nice haircut But I guess I will make it through somehow I could go anywhere but I procrastinate 'Cause I'm afraid of what's beyond the shadow line I'm not resolute like Heisenberg Ain't got a way out like Goodman Saul I'm not a poet nor an ignorant Just a suburban kid raised by good parents I guess life is about finding your way home A place, a face, a reason to wake up every day The future scares the hell out of me but I'm here Waiting and fighting like everyone else I guess life is about finding your way home A place, a face, a reason to wake up every day The future scares the hell out of me but I'm here Waiting and fighting like everyone else I am the songs I sing And the days I want to live Maybe I'm just another face in the crowd But I hope to stand up high and proud When they call my name When they call my name When they call my name When they call my name When they call my When they call my name
