I used to get the bus to school, the time was all it costed

It took about an hour to get from Kincumber to Gosford

One headphone in my ear, the other one in Zahra's

Phases movin' faster than the wheels

I used to look the lyrics up and Google, "What's a chorus?"

Wrote some of my own and used GarageBand to record it

'Cause I can't really sing good, but I'm still gonna try it

I might even like the way it feels

I used to do the music class, they gave us an assignment

To write a little song, no real rules or gear requirement

And I can't really play good, but I've got a computer

And I put in the practice, so I'm just gonna use it

And I got a forty percent, but I didn't care

'Cause, it meant I knew somethin' they didn't

I might never see them again

But I hope they're well, and they like the new songs that I've written

'Cause I can't really sing good, but I'm still gonna try it

If somethin' really feels good, why then would I fight it?

And I can't really play good, but I've got a computer

I hear it in my mind and make it real

I don't know how to slow it

But I wish that I could do it now

And I don't know how to stop

Once upon a time, I let it out

One day, when I'm older, I might do somethin' else

But I'll still write the stories, and I'll sing them to myself

I'll sing them in the kitchen, I'll sing them when it's quiet

'Cause when the melody is meant for me, I'm gonna find it

I sit out on the balcony with my oldest friend

The spirit in the room with me that carries my pen

'Cause I can't really sing good, but I'm still gonna try it

'Cause I like makin' music and someone's gotta write it

'Cause I can't really sing good, but I'm still gonna try it

If only 'cause I like the way it feels
