I Am Jack in a Song

Always searching for the right words
Always longing for a vowel
Maybe I don't talk enough for you
But I mean every word
Always searching for the right chord
Even though they're just the same
Not a musician nor a guitarist
I'm just strumming along

So let me introduce myself
This is who I am

I am the songs I sing
And the days I want to live
Maybe I'm just another face in the crowd
But I hope to stand up high and proud
When they call my name
When they call my name

Or Welcome to the NHK!
I'm a sinner looking for redemption and love
Just like Mumford and his sons
You can't blame me for getting music
In red bedrooms and white coats
'cause I find comfort in a Scrubs episode
After a heavyhearted day

So let me introduce myself
This is who I am

I am the songs I sing
And the days I want to live
Maybe I'm just another face in the crowd
But I hope to stand up high and proud
When they call my name
When they call my name
When they call my name

I ain't got a pretty face, or a nice haircut
But I guess I will make it through somehow
I could go anywhere but I procrastinate
'cause I'm afraid of what's beyond the shadow line
I'm not resolute like Heisenberg
Ain't got a way out like Goodman Saul
I'm not a poet nor an ignorant
Just a suburban kid raised by good parents

I guess life is about finding your way home
A place, a face, a reason to wake up every day
The future scares the hell out of me
But I'm here, waiting and fighting like everyone else
I guess life is about finding your way home
A place, a face, a reason to wake up every day
The future scares the hell out of me
But I'm here, waiting and fighting like everyone else

I am the songs I sing
And the days I want to live
Maybe I'm just another face in the crowd
But I hope to stand up high and proud
When they call my name
When they call my name
When they call my name
When they call my
When they call my name
