Shine
In my house I have a desk
On the desk a pile of notes
On the notes are promises
Promises and desperate hopes
I hope I learn the lesson soon
If you have to write it all down
It isn't worth remembering
It's a little piece of truth that I've found
Found a warm and fuzzy girl
The girl was down for lifting me up
I should have been agreeable
But having fun it can be tough
When you can't forget yourself
You can't get outside your web of needs
I am a pretty hopeless case
But I still believe
I can't keep my head screwed on tight
I replay regret at night, oh my
I still want to make things right, oh
I still want a chance to shine
Met a guy who volunteers
Teaches writing Saturday nights
Invited me to come along
I said I really think I might
And I swear I meant it all
But I put it off a bit too long
If I ever saw the guy
I think I'd break into a full speed run
I want to run a hundred miles
But I've yet to run just one
My head gets all the exercise
So much it almost turns me dumb
I can't believe how late it is
Maybe I should call it quits
But really what else would I do?
I think this is it
I can't keep my head screwed on tight
I replay regret at night, oh my
I still want to make things right, oh
I still want a chance to shine
Since I was a little one
Something big was mixing in me
The need to set myself apart
And the fear it never would be
Now I walk with headphones on
I never hear the caged bird sing
Table tennis dialogue
With all the many versions of me
Want to be someone else
Want to be someone new
A little less worrisome
Maybe someone just like you
Want to make lemonade
Some days are just too hard to take
I want to be okay
I can't keep my head screwed on tight
I replay regret at night, oh my
I still want to make things right, oh
I still want a chance to shine
Shine
Come on
Shine
Shine
Shine
Shine
Shine
Shine
Shine
