w2b
There's a boy losing sleep on the east side
He comes home at night under street lights
He's known a hard life and knows what it's like to pick a fight
And that boy's he's got a friend in the high rise
Grinding out his days looking less alive
Staring at the city you know it's such a pity
When you want what you can't find
And all the wannabes
Only wanted to be somebody everybody would love
No I don't want to be
Another wannabe who never seemed to feel like enough
So tell me who you want to be
Well he's got a best friend, who's gonna be a star
So they started a band and made plans
But left them in his mom's garage
'Til going off to uni and finding himself a roomie
And truly he didn't really even like him at first
So tell me who you want to be
And all the wannabes
Only wanted to be somebody everybody would love
No I don't want to be
Another wannabe who never seemed to feel like enough
So tell me who you want to be
I want to be kind
I want to have heart
I want to see bright in a little less dark
I want to be real
I want a fresh start
I want to wake up in the morning and not feel like falling apart
And all the wannabes
Only wanted to be somebody everybody would love
No I don't want to be
Another wannabe who never seemed to feel like enough
I want to be kind
I want to have heart
I want to see bright in a little less dark
I want to be real
I want a fresh start
I want to wake up in the morning and not feel like falling apart
So tell me who you want to be
He comes home at night under street lights
He's known a hard life and knows what it's like to pick a fight
And that boy's he's got a friend in the high rise
Grinding out his days looking less alive
Staring at the city you know it's such a pity
When you want what you can't find
And all the wannabes
Only wanted to be somebody everybody would love
No I don't want to be
Another wannabe who never seemed to feel like enough
So tell me who you want to be
Well he's got a best friend, who's gonna be a star
So they started a band and made plans
But left them in his mom's garage
'Til going off to uni and finding himself a roomie
And truly he didn't really even like him at first
So tell me who you want to be
And all the wannabes
Only wanted to be somebody everybody would love
No I don't want to be
Another wannabe who never seemed to feel like enough
So tell me who you want to be
I want to be kind
I want to have heart
I want to see bright in a little less dark
I want to be real
I want a fresh start
I want to wake up in the morning and not feel like falling apart
And all the wannabes
Only wanted to be somebody everybody would love
No I don't want to be
Another wannabe who never seemed to feel like enough
I want to be kind
I want to have heart
I want to see bright in a little less dark
I want to be real
I want a fresh start
I want to wake up in the morning and not feel like falling apart
So tell me who you want to be
