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
