Everybody Wants to Be Me

Written by Jacob Keplinger & Justin Siegel

I think that I could never know if I could write or sing a song again
I want to try it and i want someone to buy it but I don’t know when
I’m on a plane, flying Italy or Spain, I don’t really know
But where we are I know it’s never really far from another home

Cuz I can’t see, I can’t hear nothin’
Maybe I’m coming down with somethin’
But it’s okay cuz I’m not running
This has been a long time comin'

I don’t know how to say it and I don’t know how to play it but it’s there
I look around and see a populating town that wants to strip me bare
I’m running out of cash and I don’t have a secret stash to keep me fine
So maybe I should find another way to have a little peace of mind

Cuz I can’t see, I can’t hear nothin’
Maybe I’m coming down with somethin’
But it’s okay cuz I’m not running
This has been a long time comin'
Look around and they all see me
Everybody wants to be me
Cuz I’m not coming down with somethin’
This has been a long time comin'
I’m not coming down with somethin’
This has been a long time comin'

It's been a real long time comin'
Real long time comin'
So very long
So, so, long
So long

I can’t see nothin’ through my little old eye socket
And I can’t hear nothin’ through my little old ear pocket
