I want to make what sounds good to me
I want to sing what i find catchy
But when you say those mean things to me
I doubt myself in every way
"Shade of Green" was handled all wrong
And "Acousingle" didn't catch on
"Hell Of A Feeling" was okay at best
And "DUMB" was right along with all the rest
Im just here and im writing my songs
Waiting for someone to come along
And tell me how they can really relate
And give my songs meaning or give me one good reason to stay
"Fishing For Good News," my feelings have changed
I'm no longer sad but im still fat and strange
Everything i've tried yet has failed
Or its made my life go off the rails
When i was young, my mom treated me
Like i was an old rotten last piece of cheese
I wrote that song and i played it live
Ended up kickin' me out of my life
Im just here and im writing my songs
Waiting for someone to come along
And tell me how they can really relate
And give my songs meaning or give me one good reason to stay
I hope this song sounds good to you
Thats all i want, is to impress you
And i want to get eaten alive
So i have a reason to pack up and drive away oh
Im just here and im writing my songs
Waiting for someone to come along
And tell me how they can really relate
And give my songs meaning or give me one good reason to stay
That's You
