Best of Me

The hallway's filled with familiar faces and their friends
Who all act the same
They don't know my name
Arrived at home to find their pictures on my phone
I'm missing out
Can I be like them?

It's something I've been wanting
For the longest time
A feeling that I'm chasing
Watching life go by

All the times I lie awake at night
Dreaming we look the same
My world wide web's feeling local again
As I drown in comparisons
I'm being me, you can disagree
I raise my hand showing I believe this identity that I can't reach
Is getting the best of me

My mind's been filled with familiar stories from now and then
I'm back again, it never ends
My heart's been torn from the missing pages of my tale
I'm out of words, but I'm full of life
Now I'm off to see the summer skies
Don my wings and learn to fly
'Cause I'm alright
With all my perfect imperfections
Away from painful retrospections of foolish days
And I'm on my way

To something I've been wanting
For the longest time
A feeling that I'm chasing
Watching life go by

All the times I lie awake at night
Dreaming we look the same
My world wide web's feeling local again
As I drown in comparisons
I'm being me, you can disagree
I raise my hand showing I believe this identity that I can't reach
Is getting the best of me

How do I change when nothing goes my way?
I'm moving on, but I'm trying hard to keep these voices from my head
How do you explain that I'm stuck in my old ways?
This social world has got me torn from my reality

There's something I've been wanting
For the longest time
A feeling that I'm chasing
Watching life go by

All the times I lie awake at night
Dreaming we look the same
My world wide web's feeling local again
As I drown in comparisons
I'm being me, you can disagree
I raise my hand showing I believe this identity that I can't reach
Is getting the best of me
