Be Somebody
[Verse 1]
Don’t tell me any more invisible things
I can’t fold up what’s unfolded, I can’t hold it in
I’ve been humming the theme
To a re-run
Of your heartbeat
You get dressed in full-length mirrors
You go to town
Without so much as a broken heart to get excited about
And I say, “Baby, I feel so obsolete now”

[Chorus]
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for
I’m not gonna miss my chance to be wrong
Oh baby, I’m gonna be somebody you can give up on

[Verse 2]
Now I can never tell if I’m kidding
I just play along
On a low-speed chase I go making every short story long
While you try and try
To forget who your friends are
You left a note that said “I’ve gone out looking for you”
But what makes you think you can find what I’ve just made sure to lose?
Don’t make it any harder now
For me to disappoint you

[Chorus]
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for
I’m not gonna miss my big chance to be wrong
Oh baby, I’m gonna be somebody you can give up on

[Post-Chorus]
And if you need me I’ll be in the past
Just waiting around in your old photographs
Oh, you can always rely on me to
To never be
