Figure Me Out

(album: Stories For Monday - 2016)

I'm a bit too pop for the punk kids, but I'm too punk for the pop kids
I don't know just where I fit in cause when I open my mouth I know nobody's listening
To the words of a prophet who still can't turn a profit
Cause I don't fit in with the in crowd, but I'm too Hollywood to go back to my hometown

Cause they think that I'm famous when I know I'm a fraud
Who got too fucked up on the finer things to remember who he forgot

But I believe there's more to life than all my problems maybe there's still hope for me to start again
Get my feet back on the ground
Pull my head out of the clouds
I think it's time for me to figure me out

Let's get back to the basics and take it back to the basement
Where I heard Born To Run for the first time and I stared at my dad in amazement
He said, "Son don't stop chasing great and keep pounding the pavement."
So I'd much rather die trying to make something sacred than live as another YouTube sensation

Cause I hate that they're famous for being something they're not
While I'm too hung up on the things I don't have to appreciate what I've got

But I believe there's more to life than all my problems maybe there's still hope for me to start again
Get my feet back on the ground
Pull my head out of the clouds
I think it's time for me to figure me out

Time for me to figure me out
Time for me to figure me out
So if you hear this song turn it up real loud
Cause it's time for me to figure me out
Alright, if you hear this song turn it up real loud
Cause it's time for me to figure me out

I believe there's more to life than all my problems I just wanna fall in love before I'm dead
So I can make my parents proud
Hope my feet don't fail me now
Cause it's time for me to figure me out
