The Real Me
from Skeletons (2012) by Roger Heathers
lyrics
This situation makes me lazy
This excitation makes me crazy and all I can do is wait for it to pass
I try to hold my tongue but my words slip right out my mouth
The funny thing is that beforehand
I'm sane as anything
If I could only keep that while we're playing in the band
I get so out of hand
But I just say what comes into my head
I know the reason why
I can relate to you but we don't have the time
When we're adding lib I don't have anything that rhymes
If you could see the real me you'd change your mind
I thought I'd found someone to talk to
But I just found a door to walk through
And there's no way to get back now
Waiting in the cold for you
I know it's true
You know the reason why
I can relate to you but we don't have the time
When we're adding lib I don't have anything that rhymes
If you could see the real me you'd change your mind
I know the reason why
I can relate to you but we don't have the time
I don't have anything that rhymes
If you could see the real me you'd change your mind
This excitation makes me crazy and all I can do is wait for it to pass
I try to hold my tongue but my words slip right out my mouth
The funny thing is that beforehand
I'm sane as anything
If I could only keep that while we're playing in the band
I get so out of hand
But I just say what comes into my head
I know the reason why
I can relate to you but we don't have the time
When we're adding lib I don't have anything that rhymes
If you could see the real me you'd change your mind
I thought I'd found someone to talk to
But I just found a door to walk through
And there's no way to get back now
Waiting in the cold for you
I know it's true
You know the reason why
I can relate to you but we don't have the time
When we're adding lib I don't have anything that rhymes
If you could see the real me you'd change your mind
I know the reason why
I can relate to you but we don't have the time
I don't have anything that rhymes
If you could see the real me you'd change your mind
