I thought I'd grow out my hair
To see if you'd notice
And I'd start dressing nice
To make you believe that I'm alright
And I'd start playing sports
To be more like my brother
And my dad might be proud
For once in his life

Or maybe I'll drink myself to sleep
Because that's what I'm used to
And when I wake up
I'll feel brand new

I'll start tanning my skin
To be more like my mother
Because I am a ghost
In size small clothes
And I guess I could use some color
Maybe I'll smile
To be like my ex-girlfriends
'Cause they can feel love
But I can't feel anything

So I thought I'd write you this song
So you could get noticed
You could sing it along with your friends
In the back of their Mercedes-Benz

Well, me and my Volvo will be fine
And maybe I'll close my eyes to feel more like myself
Maybe I'll close my eyes to feel more like myself
And maybe I'll close my eyes to feel more like myself
