Anthony Lyrics by PhemieC

Songs for Changelings

2016

Oh-woah
Anthony

[Verse 1]
I’m kind and I’m clever, I know how to pull out the tab of a coffee cup
I find more pleasure in helping than hurting, I’m pretty sure that’s enough

[Pre-Chorus]
And as for grown ups I don’t wanna be one
And I don’t wanna see one again
And I don’t want to know what I’m missing out on
Or if my hat’s on the wrong end

[Chorus]
So what if I’m walking home backwards?
I’m still gonna get where I get
Anthony’s walked round in circles for years and he hasn’t stopped yet

[Verse 2]
I’m funny and free, with a few good tattoos and permanent crooked grin
I’ve medals for participation and others for getting the hockey puck in

[Pre-Chorus]
And as for losers I’ve certainly been one
And I’ll probably be one again
But I don’t want to know what I’m getting too old for
So don’t put your trash in my bin

[Chorus]
So what my life story’s missing a cover
On sale for just $1.99?
Anthony’s written in marker, he’s scrawled in the margins of mine

[Verse 3]
I’m soft and I’m silly, my therapist tells me I thoroughly know my own mind
Yeah, I’m so self-aware she can’t help me, I finish her sentences all the time

[Pre-Chorus]
So as for sanity take it or leave it
Don’t know where I last put mine down
And I’ve gained thirty pounds since I lost it
So it probably won't fit me now

[Chorus]
So what if my uncertain future
Looks nothing at all like my past
Anthony's outside the confines of spacetime completely
He’s perfectly calm and relaxed
Yeah

[Bridge]
Anthony’s just where I left him
And he can’t do a thing on his own
He’s never won any trophies or accolades
He’s never gonna get home
So I’ve got a leg up on the boy
That I dreamed about being when I was 13
I’d rather be the real me than fake Anthony

Yeah, all in all I’d rather be me than Anthony
