Self confidence slippin', still runnin' away
From the face in the mirror, the lines on the face
From New York City to the San Francisco Bay
From the ghost in the closet
The monkey on your back
From the one that really knows you
Been there watchin' your back
But the fire in your belly still burns
Just be yourself
You're like no one else
There's nobody like you
You can't find it on the shelf
Just let the world know
That you're ready for show
Count three and let go
Before you turn around and go home
Turn around, baby
Down by the lilikoi near the old stone wall
There time stands still, yet the water still falls
There nothing much changes but the seasons still change
Just wishin' and hopin' to break even again
You take these things with you
You take 'em to the heart
But take nothing for granted
Well, there's a good place to start
Until you feel light circle again
Just be yourself
You're like no one else
There's nobody like you
You can't find it on the shelf
Just let the world know
That you're ready for show
Count three and let go
Before you turn around and go home
There ain't no sanctuary
Young Jeff Buckley blood
You're halfway to Memphis
In the Mississippi mud
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Be yourself
You're like no one else
There's nobody like you
You can't find it on the shelf
Just let the world know
That you're ready for show
Count three and let go
Before you turn around and go home
Turn yourself around and get back home
Just turn around and go home
Halfway to Memphis, drivin' in the rain Self confidence slippin', still runnin' away From the face in the mirror, the lines on the face From New York City to the San Francisco Bay From the ghost in the closet The monkey on your back From the one that really knows you Been there watchin' your back But the fire in your belly still burns Just be yourself You're like no one else There's nobody like you You can't find it on the shelf Just let the world know That you're ready for show Count three and let go Before you turn around and go home Turn around, baby Down by the lilikoi near the old stone wall There time stands still, yet the water still falls There nothing much changes but the seasons still change Just wishin' and hopin' to break even again You take these things with you You take 'em to the heart But take nothing for granted Well, there's a good place to start Until you feel light circle again Just be yourself You're like no one else There's nobody like you You can't find it on the shelf Just let the world know That you're ready for show Count three and let go Before you turn around and go home There ain't no sanctuary Young Jeff Buckley blood You're halfway to Memphis In the Mississippi mud Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Be yourself You're like no one else There's nobody like you You can't find it on the shelf Just let the world know That you're ready for show Count three and let go Before you turn around and go home Turn yourself around and get back home Just turn around and go home Explain Request ×
