Me and My Song Lyrics
Verse 1
Well I’ve probly chased a thousand dreams, but I have failed at every one it seems uh huh.
Like a jester putting on a show, hey I dazzle everyone I know with my sense of certainty.
Verse 2
And I’ve tried at love a thousand times, but I can’t ever seem to get it right nuh uh.
I’ve even travelled ‘cross the world to try and find a little somethin’ pure, but I only found uncertainty.
Pre-Chorus
And nothin’ to hold on to. And nothin’ that won’t abandon you.
But I’m gonna find the light, ‘cause I’ve got
Chorus 1
Me and my song and you know, we can’t go wrong
When all else fails and I find myself alone
I’ve got company in a melody so nothin’ keeps us down too long.
Me and my song.
Verse 2
And there’s a million ways to chase the pain away that comes from playin’ in this crazy game we play.
So if I ever found a ‘cause to smile then I guess I found a way to make it all worthwhile - all of this uncertainty.
Pre-Chorus
Hey I found somethin’ to hold on to. The closest I know I come to truth.
And I’m gonna find the light so life,
Chorus 2
…you bring it on, I’ve got me and my song
When once again, hey I find myself alone
I’ve got melody making sense of me; to pick me up and make me strong.
Ending
So don’t stop the song. I need the song. Don’t stop the song. I need the song.
Me and my song.
