What You're Worth (The Guitar Song)

(album: Sushi Soup - 2021)

A person is like a guitar
Ugh God, that just sounds way too cheesy
I thought this was gonna be easy, but it's not
This is all I got

A person is like a guitar
Stick with me, I know that sounds strange
But I can make your point of view change
If you just listen
You're just a set of six strings
Attached to a peg in a frame
And everyone else is the same
Don't you see?

I guess what I'm saying is I love guitar
And I love you almost just as much
I'm trying to compare you to my favorite thing on the earth
Because you have no damn idea
Just how much you're worth

I practiced almost every day
My fingers grew calloused and jaded
But the spark that I had, it had faded
Until you came
You're like a brand new guitar
You make me excited to play
I wanna go out of my way
To tune you up nice

I guess what I'm saying is I love guitar
And I love you almost just as much
I'm trying to compare you to my favorite thing on the earth
Because you have no damn idea
Just how much you're worth

I think if I were a guitar, I would be the one that I gave you before you fixed it. I can't really play right...

So you broke a few strings
And you tuned it all wrong
But guess what, here's the thing
You can still make a pretty good song

The chords may be differently played
But a melody still can be made
What's broken is beautiful
If you decide it to be
You are an angel from the perspective of me

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 guess what I'm saying is I love guitar
And I love you almost just as much
I'm trying to compare you to my favorite thing on the earth
Because you have no damn idea
Because you have no damn idea
Just how much you're worth
