I don't know why I can't just spit it all out
It kills me to want to be more than a face in the crowd
I've always been bright
But I've got this crossed wire in my brain
I don't know why I feel safe when I'm alone
I wanna spend all night making friends
But I drag myself home
'Cause I'm not who I wanna be
And small talk turns me inside out
All I know is I can't say what's on my mind
All I've got is this guitar
And whatever melodies I can find
I don't know why God never took this away
I spent a lifetime trying to fix it, to make it OK
But the flash cards and therapy
Didn't help me like they thought they would
I don't know why I can't let go of this band
I'm tired of the grind and the fast food
And life in the van
But I've been the kid
Who's just dying to find a reflection
All I know is I can't say what's on my mind
All I've got is this guitar
And whatever melodies I can find
Fill the page with all these feelings in my heart
It gets me through the crowded rooms
And you wonder why I can't survive without this
I don't know why normal can make you feel numb
It's almost like accepting yourself
Is what makes you enough
All I know is I can't say what's on my mind
All I've got is this guitar
And whatever melodies I can find
Fill the page with all these feelings in my heart
It gets me through the crowded rooms
And you wonder why I can't survive without this
