I'm Not Me

You were full of sound and fury with some tattoos
The way you'd want me to be
You pretend that it don't mean much
And I pretend it don't worry me

With all the webs we've spun
I couldn't be the only one to see
You might be you
But lately, I'm not me

Somewhere we'll get away from it all
Where we'll forget everything
Somewhere we'll get away from it all
Where we'll forget everything
Somewhere we'll get away from it all
Where we'll forget everything
Somewhere we'll get away from it all
You can help me get away from me

Sometimes it grows from weeds
Suffocates the violets and cuts and bleeds through hopeless fantasies
And good intentions we wear on our sleeves

Sometime it burns but that flame dies
And there's nothing to apologize for
It's so clear to see
Lately, I'm not me

Somewhere we'll get away from it all
Where we'll forget everything
Somewhere we'll get away from it all
Where we'll forget everything
Somewhere we'll get away from it all
Where we'll forget everything
Somewhere we'll get away from it all
You can help me get away from me

One day I'll stop clowning around
Give up the booze and settle down
One day I'll get out of this city
Somewhere far, far less busy

One day, when I'm not me
And it's not what it is, but what it should be
Maybe I won't mind
You'll see me out this time

You'd think I'd change but I remain the same
And I still feel all this shame for
The messes I make
And making all the same mistakes

Someday I'll wait for you all to see
There was never a hurry
You were never you
And maybe I'm not me

Somewhere we'll get away from it all
