Verse 1
Kid i held you with these
arms that felt so hard
You kept your chin up
and i held my guard
Made a prison bed
from a life i never led
Let me correct these
mistakes you delight in
God i hope i get it right
ive been practicing tonight
Verse 2
Kid i hope it holds a
fraction of it's feeling
If you keep believing then
I'll keep on being
A ghost in his prison bed
short sheeted and shook dead
Looking at love he
still hasn't made yet
That i couldnt make to you
baby i can barely move
Chorus 1
And Kid you were wrong that
wasn't me in that song
You write the lie
you'd like to be
When your life feels like
a book you wouldn't read
Post Chorus: ---- x2
Verse 3
Kid ive lived through
others i made myself so small
I lived through a record
one summer last fall
The singer said something
i could only feel
I saw him this morning
he still looked real real
God i need him here tonight
I just know he'd get this right
Chorus 2
And Kid im a mess
If it looked good you're
seeing things i guess
I changed my mind so many
times im a strobe light
Bridge
Flickering freak
the baby of the week
Im starting to see
Im starting to see
Im starting to see
(hold) (hold) (hold) --
someone i could never be
Chorus 3
Hey Kid what went wrong? we
had it all now it's all gone
I blew my mind out now
it's your turn to find out
Outro
What we all need
What we all mean
Silence:
Im starting to see
Im starting to see
Guitars Enter:
Im starting to see
Im starting to see
Im starting to see
someone i don't want to be
