Wish Myself Away - eleventyseven

I’m disguising all my whining

With three chords and four four timing

Line by line I realize

I’m the same I was when I was five

I’ll admit to narcissism

If it keeps me out of prison

My situation is tragic

'Cause I can break a heart but not these habits

I wish I was a little more confident

I wish I had a little more of the «it» factor they say you need

To amount to anything

I wish I rocked a little harder

Pushed the line a little father

I wish that I was okay being me

I wish I burned a little brighter

Could make my heart a little lighter

I wish I wouldn’t wish myself away

If I can’t hide

I’ll victimize me with a thousand little lies

I’ll wrap my version of the truth

Around the finger in my mind

And when I doubt

I’ll write my confidence a check I know will bounce

And it serves me right

For not cleaning up after my mind

I wish I was a little more confident

I wish I had a little more of the «it» factor they say you need

To amount to anything

I wish I rocked a little harder

Pushed the line a little father

I wish that I was okay being me

I wish I burned a little brighter

Could make my heart a little lighter

I wish I wouldn’t wish myself away

I wish I was a little more punk than pop

A little less cotton candy rock

And it’s about time that I admit

I wish I wrote better songs than this

A little more hanging with my friends

A little less stressing out again

A little less Michael-fracking-Bay

A little more point to my story

I wish I rocked a little harder

Pushed the line a little father

I wish I wouldn’t wish myself away yeah

I wish I burned a little brighter

Could make my heart a little lighter

I wish I wouldn’t wish myself away

I wish I wouldn’t wish myself away
