[Verse]
You make me wanna stop trying
Running and hiding all the time
And when I’m scrolling in the morning
My life is boring and yours is fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Got to get up off the couch
And be just like everyone else
[Chorus]
I wannabe you
I wannabe you
But I’m not
Guess I’ve got to be me
I wannabe you
I wannabe you
But I’m not
Guess I’ve got to be me (you)
[Verse]
You don't know how much I care
I look at you, you stare deep in my soul
And I feel like you know something
You know something that I don’t
[Pre-Chorus]
Got to get up off the couch
And be just like everyone else
[Chorus]
I wannabe you
I wannabe you
But I’m not
Guess I’ve got to be me
I wannabe you
I wannabe you
But I’m not
Guess I’ve got to be me (you)
[Outro]
All that I want
Is everything I haven’t got
And now I see the sky is open
[Bridge]
I wannabe you
You wanna be me too
But we’re not guess we’re all that we’ve got
[Chorus]
I wannabe you
You wanna be me too
But we’re not guess we’re all that we’ve got
(Guess we’re all that we’ve got)

I wrote this song after a lengthy doom scroll. [I] got bored of feeling less than and the daily comparison. This song is a friendly reminder to stay in your own lane and to remember you are just as alien as everybody else.
