myself from myself by Joseph Maxwell

i don't know how to say this
i just wanna be famous
i want everyone from my high school to remember what my name is

feelin like I'm washed up
my whole life's been wasted
i am twenty-seven and for some reason
that feels ancient

i cannot explain it
i think it's all these young kids
doin what I couldn't
doin what I never did

i wanted to be somethin
talkin with my cousin
ridin bikes til sunset
thought the dream was real, but it wasn't

i always hoped eventually
i'd be who i was meant to be
but i'm stuck in my anatomy
i can't be somethin more than me

do i really have to be myself?
yeah dude, you can't be anyone else

do i really have to be myself?
again, yes, like, who else would you even be?

do i really have to be myself?
Look, even if you changed every single thing about yourself, you would still be you

do i really have to be myself?
you know what, no, you don't, you can be anybody you want
