Charleston

When I was young I was strange
Night after night in New York City
Trying hard not to amount to anything
People don't change
Same as it ever was, but now people pay to here me sing

It's worth a second look
But I swear I've made myself from glue and smiles
Stacked upon themselves
Maybe I'll pretend that I'm somebody else
Who's closer to what I want to be...

Alone...
I'm so much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own

There's no sign of me here
I've been to hell and back
On a train built with pride and failed attempts
That used to be fun
I never thought you could reinvent the world
By playing shows and writing songs

It's worth a second look
But I swear I've made myself from heart attacks
Stacked upon themselves
Maybe I'll pretend that I'm somebody else
Who's closer to what I want to be...

Alone...
I'm so much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own

Don't wish too hard
You might get what you want
I've grown needs so please look at me
But not too long
Because I'm better off alone

So much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own

Alone...
I'm so much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own
