[Verse 1]
My birthday's comin' up but I don't really feel like celebratin'
Been feelin' kinda stuck while everythin' around me keeps on changin'
Another year gone by, another year that I'm not where I wanna be
Feels like everyone's got it together but me

[Chorus]
Yeah, I just wanna be somebody that can make my parents proud
I just wanna be somebody that's got it a little bit figured out
It feels like I'm so far behind and I don't know how
I just wanna be somebody before my time runs out

[Verse 2]
Been puttin' in the work but it still feels like I'm runnin' in circles
What gets me the worst is thinkin' that I could be jumpin' all the wrong hurdles
Another year I've spent up inside my head, obsessive and insecure
Wonderin' when it's gonna be my turn

[Chorus]
Yeah, I just wanna be somebody that can make my parents proud
I just wanna be somebody that's got it a little bit figured out
It feels like I'm so far behind and I don't know how
I just wanna be somebody before my time runs out

[Post-Chorus]
Somebody, be somebody
Somebody, be somebody
Somebody, be somebody
[Chorus]
Yeah, I just wanna be somebody that can make my parents proud
I just wanna be somebody that's got it a little bit figured out
It feels like I'm so far behind and I don't know how
I just wanna be somebody before my time runs out
