Striving to be the best But I ain't feeling blessed I Can't take being stressed Wish I could read ahead Will they call me purebred? Will I make them impressed? No stopping this headache I need to take a rest When will I play a show? When will I know the road? Terrified i'll let go Grip of this passion Might be losing traction I thought I was soaring But really I'm crashing Straight into apathy Its serendipity The process where the songs Come to me naturally Acts as my telescope Always giving me hope Making me think I'm not a wannabe I'm not a wannabe Wannabe I'm not a wannabe I'm not a wannabe I'm sorry I must contradict Hypocrite Perhaps I'm a wannabe I don't wanna be Stuck counting to three You're currently listening to a Wannabe What does it really mean? I'm only seventeen Is there a problem with being a Wannabe? Means that I'm working It means that I'm dreaming Thinking "Hey one day I will not be a Wannabe" Whining not shining is that all this is? Stop hoping they say that "this guy is the shit" Its human to hope for that here and then That hope is what gonna drive me to the end I'm tryna count those sheep Looked in a mirror A stranger stares back at me Keeping me up at night He's making this drum beat Helping me to ignite Helping me find the heat Wannabe I'm not a wannabe Wannabe I'm not a wannabe I'm not a wannabe
