The Collector
If I had his sense of humour, maybe I'd find this funny
If I thought more about the future, maybe I'd have more money
Still looking for that puzzle piece
Cause life right now don't feel complete
This picture's not perfect
Does it have to be a work of art for it to be worth it
So if I take, if I paint all these colours, the shades that I wanna be
If I make myself look like the others, what will be left of me?
Cause I've been a collector, other people's storyteller
A personality possessor, I wish I could be me better
If I lived in New York City, maybe I'd hate the winters
But if I lived in California, the summer would be a killer
Used to want to run away
Find nirvana in those place that never existed
But I've been there so many times before, it never made a difference
So if I take, if I paint all these colours, the shades that I wanna be
If I make myself look like the others, what will be left of me?
Cause I've been a collector, other people's storyteller
A personality possessor, I wish I could be me better
What if every wrong turn I ever made, showed me how to be brave?
What if every mistake I ever made was there to show me I'll be ok
So if I take, if I paint all these colours, the shades that I wanna be
If I make myself look like the others, what will be left of me?
Cause I've been a collector, other people's storyteller
A personality possessor, I wish I could be me better
If I thought more about the future, maybe I'd have more money
Still looking for that puzzle piece
Cause life right now don't feel complete
This picture's not perfect
Does it have to be a work of art for it to be worth it
So if I take, if I paint all these colours, the shades that I wanna be
If I make myself look like the others, what will be left of me?
Cause I've been a collector, other people's storyteller
A personality possessor, I wish I could be me better
If I lived in New York City, maybe I'd hate the winters
But if I lived in California, the summer would be a killer
Used to want to run away

But I've been there so many times before, it never made a difference
So if I take, if I paint all these colours, the shades that I wanna be
If I make myself look like the others, what will be left of me?

Cause I've been a collector, other people's storyteller
A personality possessor, I wish I could be me better
