When I’m On Lyrics by Scott Cramer

Bits of Me

2018

[Intro]
Don't let your dreams be dreams. Yesterday you said tomorrow. So just do it! Make your dreams come true. Just do it!

[Chorus]
You'll still be loving me when I'm on
I tried to tell 'em that some day I'd go away now
But they'll be bugging me when I'm gone
And every time I come home, they'll want me to stay down
I thought about it since I was young
It's in my head every time I go to lay down
And I'll be working until it's done
I've got a lot of things that I've been meaning to say now

[Verse 1]
The ball is rolling, man, my future's on the way
And I gotta do it 'cause I think about it everyday
And I gotta say it, even though I know it's a cliché
But I'm always gon' be working, I don't care what people say
'Cause I don't wanna waste my time with people I can't vibe with
Who haven't opened their eyes yet
Who haven't opened their minds yet
I've got a vision I've been living with the palms
And never having to wake up to the sound of an alarm, but
Some people follow their dreams and some get intimidated
I'm from a small town, I'm trying to be innovative
I'm at the bottom, looking for my own style now
Give me some time and I'll be the one that's imitated

[Chorus]
'Cause they'll be loving me when I'm on
I tried to tell 'em that some day I'd go away now
But they'll be bugging me when I'm gone
And every time I come home, they'll want me to stay down
I thought about it since I was young
It's in my head every time I go to lay down
And I'll be working until it's done
I've got a lot of things that I've been meaning to say now

[Verse 2]
I've got a list of all the people who've been doubting me
And they'll be shaking when they see what I've turned out to be
I know you're probably gonna settle for a desk job
But I'm gon' aim a little higher with my best shot
I've got a list of all the people who believe in me
And I'll remember you when I'm in greener scenery
'Cause that's an attitude that I tend to respect
Not dismissing someone 'cause they don't feel like a checkbox
Now every sentence, I hit with a viral post
Been working hard, envisioning playing shows
And when I get it for the people staying home
I'll be the one they talking about the most

[Chorus]
'Cause they'll be loving me when I'm on
I tried to tell 'em that some day I'd go away now
But they'll be bugging me when I'm gone
And every time I come home, they'll want me to stay down
I thought about it since I was young
It's in my head every time I go to lay down
And I'll be working until it's done
I've got a lot of things that I've been meaning to say now

[Outro]
If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up
