this is my favorite song.. so I thought I would post my emo(ish) lyrics on here.
It’s by Ben Folds and if you aren’t a fan of his solo stuff then, well, you’re an idiot. Go download. and listen. and love.
I feel like a quote out of context withholding the rest,
So I can be for you what you want to see,
I got the gesture and sounds, got the timing down,
It’s uncanny, yeah you think it was me
Do you think I should take a class
to lose my southern accent?
Did I make me up or make the face till it stuck?
I do the best imitation of myself
The “Problem with you” speech you gave me was fine,
I liked the theories about my little stage,
And I swore I was listening but I started drifting,
around the part about me acting my age
So now if it’s all the same,
I’ve people to entertain,
You know I juggle one handed, do some magic tricks and
I do the best imitation of myself.
Maybe I’m thinking myself in a hole,
Wondering who I am when I ought to know,
Straighten up now time to go
fool somebody else
Last night I was east with them and west within,
Sometimes I wanna be what they wanna see,
But I can’t help it with you,
The good and the bad comes through,
Don’t want you hanging out with no one but me
Oh, but it’s all the same, It comes from the same place,
And if my mind’s somewhere else you won’t be able to tell,
I do the best imitation of myself
Yes it’s uncanny to see, You’d really think it was me,
The best imitation of myself.
