Identivacation

[VERSE]
I wanna be a smart man
And so I play the part
Laughing like an animal
The only one who gets the joke

I gotta tell you something
I’m shooting in the dark
Only read the prologue
Filling up the room with smoke

[PRE-Chorus]
Honestly, I only wanted to create
Someone you’d appreciate
A mystery man
A lover of the finer things
A boy who’s good at listening

[VERSE]
I wanna be the real thing
Straight from the horse’s mouth
Studying my passions
Drawing up a rationale

Depends on what I’m feeling
Or what the mood allows
I was once a kid
Who was dreaming I was someone else

[PRE-Chorus]
Honestly, I only wanted to create
Someone you’d appreciate
A mystery man
A lover of the finer things
A boy who’s good at listening to you

[Chorus]
And now I’m asking for a break
From finding out what makes me great

[BRIDGE]
(Give me just one holiday)
I wanna be a young man
And so I play the part
Frenzy in my eyes
And I’m looking for a slice of pie

(Sign the dotted line)

I wanna be a holy man
And so I play the part
(Take me with you)
Pretending I’m that I’m out
Of the period of doubt I had

(Pretending I’m that I’m out
Of the period of doubt I had)

(Give me just one holiday)
I wanna be a rich man
And so I play the part
Credit to the max
Hey I got it just relax old friend

(Sign the dotted line)

I wanna be a lost man
And so I play the part
(Take me with you)
Who could ever know?
Who could ever not outgrow their youth?

(Who could ever know?
Who could ever not outgrow their youth?)

[OUTRO]
I want to be a smart man
And so I play the part
(Who could ever know?
Who could ever not outgrow their youth?)

I want to be the real thing
Straight from the horse's mouth
(Who could ever know?
Who could ever not outgrow their youth?)
