I can't lift myself off the ground By the belt loop of my jeans I'm often told to know myself But I'm not sure what that means If I remember what I've done Can I know what I'll do next? But when I'm conscious all along I can't put it to the test The truth is always true I do the things I do Each prediction is self-fulfilling If I don't know myself then Can I be my own person? Isn't conforming easy? I'd rather just be ordinary & free Someday I'll choreograph my life Dancing to a different drum Until I hear that solo beat I'm content to play along I can pretend to understand What it is I want to be Maybe it's everything I'm not But it's all the same to me I mirror what I see And most conveniently Everyone loves their own reflection Maybe you've looked inside yourself Spotted patterns in the clouds But was it you observing you Or the other way around? How many others did you see All responding to your name? Could it be you're the only one? Could it be we're all the same? There's no one else to know We make it as we go Redefining our limitations If I don't know myself then Can I be my own person? Isn't conforming easy? I'd rather just be ordinary & free That's me
