Us the Duo’s EP ‘Public Record’ tells stories from fans. I’m Me was written for an openly gay Marine who plays clarinet in the band.
[Verse 1 - Carissa Alvarado]
I never fit in
I get lost in the crowd
I wanna be cool but I can't quite figure it out
I like to tell jokes
That no one understands
I'm the best damn clarinet player in my high school band
[Pre-Chorus - Carissa Alvarado]
I may not be perfect but I'm perfectly unique
[Chorus - Carissa Alvarado]
I can't be anything that I'm not cause I'm me
I'm a hottie with a body and a personality
I'm sassy with my clarinet
I'm rocking with the band
Plus I found someone who loves me so back off gentlemen
I'm me
[Verse 2 - Carissa Alvarado]
I hate doing laundry
But je parle Français
I like to stay home, watching movies, eating sour patch kids
(That didn't rhyme, typical me)
I like to buy flowers
I even sing in the choir
Did I mention I play the clarinet and I'm open for hire?
[Pre-Chorus - Carissa Alvarado]
I may not be perfect but I'm perfectly unique
[Chorus - Carissa Alvarado]
I can't be anything that I'm not cause I'm me
I'm a hottie with a body and a personality
I'm sassy with my clarinet
I'm rocking with the band
Plus I found someone who loves me so back off gentlemen
I'm me
[Bridge - Carissa Alvarado]
I'm not an extra, I'm not ordinary
I look in the mirror and it shows me I'm extraordinary
I'm one of the few who fell in love with a marine
And we're the cutest couple that you've ever seen
That's my life, I did it mama
Since I was a kid I've always known where I belong
Just me, my hat, my clarinet, and him
This story has a happy ending
[Chorus - Carissa Alvarado]
I can't be anything that I'm not cause I'm me
I'm a hottie with a body and a personality
I'm sassy with my clarinet
I'm rocking with the band
Plus I found someone who loves me so back off gentlemen
I'm me
(I'm me)
I'm me
That's all I know how to be
I'm me
I’m Me was written by Nathan Thomas & Carissa Alvarado & Michael Alvarado.
