Anthony Raneri - Charleston lyrics

When I was young I was strange Night after night in New York City Trying hard not to amount to anything People don't change, same as it ever was But now people pay to here me sing It's worth a second look But I swear I've made myself from glue and smiles Stacked upon themselves Maybe I'll pretend that I'm somebody else Who's closer to what I want to be Alone I'm so much better on my own Wishing I was alone I'm so much better on my own There's no sign of me here I've been to hell and back On a train built with pride and failed attempts That used to be fun I never thought you could reinvent the world By playing shows and writing songs It's worth a second look But I swear I've made myself from heart attacks Stacked upon themselves Maybe I'll pretend that I'm somebody else Who's closer to what I want to be Alone I'm so much better on my own Wishing I was alone I'm so much better on my own Don't wish too hard You might get what you want I've grown needs so please look at me But not too long Because I'm better off alone So much better on my own Wishing I was alone I'm so much better on my own Alone I'm so much better on my own Wishing I was alone I'm so much better on my own
