Name: To Be Myself
Duration: P00H03M37S
Description: This is the weakest song on the album. Tried writing something like from the album 2 by Mac Demarco. Didn't really work cause his lead riffs are awesome and mine here is like what. I should probably practice my scales, I'm gonna go do that after uploading this...

lyrics

SO I PICKED UP MY GUITAR AND STARTED TO SING

CASHED A ROYALTY CHECK THEN I BOUGHT YOU A RING

BUT ON THE WAY HOME I TURNED AND THREW IT AWAY

TOOK A DIP IN THE LAKE, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY

TO BE MYSELF

AND YOU WONDER BUT YOU’LL NEVER KNOW

IF WERE MEANT TO BE LOVERS, EVERYONE GOES

TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU WERE AND REMEMBERS YOUR DANCE

I CAN PICTURE IT NOW IF YOU JUST GAVE ME A CHANCE

TO BE MYSELF
