Be Somebody - Paul Dempsey

Don’t tell me any more invisible things

I can’t fold up what’s unfolded, I can’t hold it in

I’ve been humming the theme

To a re-run

Of your heartbeat

You get dressed in full-length mirrors

You go to town

Without so much as a broken heart to get excited about

And I say, «Baby, I feel so obsolete now»

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for

I’m not gonna miss my chance to be wrong

Oh baby, I’m gonna be somebody you can give up on

Now I can never tell if I’m kidding

I just play along

On a low-speed chase I go making every short story long

While you try and try

To forget who your friends are

You left a note that said «I've gone out looking for you»

But what makes you think you can find what I’ve just made sure to lose?

Don’t make it any harder now

For me to disappoint you

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for

I’m not gonna miss my big chance to be wrong

Oh baby, I’m gonna be somebody you can give up on

And if you need me I’ll be in the past

Just waiting around in your old photographs

Oh, you can always rely on me to

To never be
