Be Somebody Lyrics by slimdan

to anyone who cares

2022

[Verse 1]
What's there to worry 'bout
When you're still at your parents' house
And you said you'd get off their couch
But now you're twenty-four years old?
You haven't come too far
You're playing songs on your guitar
And you're too scared, so no one hears
I guess that what you're into now

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep making these
Collect calls, my past life
He wanted to know what'd become
Of the prophet, the dreamer

[Chorus]
He really thought that I would be somebody (Oh)
I could hear it in his voice, he was hoping I would be somebody (Oh)
Never thought I'd turn into no one

[Verse 2]
Take it all in day to day
Sit around and masturbate
Habitually self-medicate
And fall asleep with The Bachelor on
How you thought when you were young
The way to freedom's growing up
You hated feeling seventeen
Now that's all you hold to

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep making these
Collect calls, my past life
He wanted to know what'd become
Of the prophet, the dreamer

[Chorus]
He really thought that I would be somebody (Oh)
I could hear it in his voice, he was hoping I would be somebody (Oh)

[Bridge]
I really thought if I said it out loud and it sounds like a plan
Then God would say, "Cool, I got you man"
It'll come, it'll come if you wait
It'll come if you wait
But now it's a panic attack every corner I turn
My fears in the backseat driving me further and further away
Further away

[Chorus]
He really thought that I would be somebody (Collect calls, my past life)
I could hear it in his voice, he was hoping I would be somebody (The prophet, the dreamer)
Through the static and the noise, he could tell I wasn't anybody (Burnout, a drifter)
I could hear it in his voice, he was hoping he would be somebody
Never thought I'd turn into no one
