Plaid

[Verse 1] Some will say it's too late So don't change your story There's too much at stake to grow Yesterday was so great Just bask in the glory Don't let your feelings show And I say, oh yeah Like a man with a condition I wait for my heart to stop Oh, and they say, "Stay down Got a plan, hold that position You can't afford a flop" [Pre-Chorus] Pack my suitcase With my game face Take the same place And put away the dreams I had Let my hair grow Find some old clothes Let the world know That my glory days were plaid [Chorus] I'm not asking for permission Are you ready for me to be me? Just pass the ammunition This prisoner's about to bust free from the chains [Verse 2] For so long you told me To keep it familiar Just play what they all would buy I can wear this blindfold Stick to your story But I gotta ask myself "Why?" And I play those songs For so many seasons 'Til I'm sure I'm losing my mind And I say, "Oh no Gotta have a much better reason To leave all my dreams behind" [Pre-Chorus] Others change it Rearrange it Stay the same thing And become your favorite fad With the see-through I gotta be true I can't be you Polyester comes in plaid [Chorus] I'm not asking for permission Are you ready for me to be me? Lord, pass some ammunition This prisoner's about to bust free from your chains I'm more than just excited Like a hundred pounds of monkey off my back (I've got to find myself out) Now everybody's invited To ride this train 'til we run clean out of track Clean out of track [Pre-Chorus] With the see-through I gotta be true I can't be you Polyester comes in plaid [Chorus] I'm not asking for permission Are you ready for me to be me? (Yeah, oh) Well, pass some ammunition This prisoner's about to bust free from the chains I'm more than just excited It's like a hundred pounds of monkey off my back (I've got to find myself out) Now everyone's invited To ride this train 'til we run clean out of track (Oh) [Outro] I'm not asking for permission Are you ready for me to be me? (Oh) Just pass some ammunition This prisoner's about to bust free from the chains I'm more than just excited Like a hundred pounds of monkey off my back
