Lyrics

My Best Self

He finds me counting quarters at the table
Says, "I'm off to the lake
I'll be back when I'm able."

He moves like liquid out of the kitchen
I find myself thinkin'
I'm not going to disappoint you

Be the one you wanna be
See how you want to be seen
Feel the love of who you're with
Even if you're all you need

Who'll be witness to my story?
So ordinary
It could be anybody

My tender layer is wearing so thin
Is it brittle below?
Or tender again?

Be the one you wanna be
See how you want to be seen
Feel the love of who you're with
Even if you're all you need

Be the one you wanna be
See how you want to be seen
Feel the love of who you're with
Be the one you wanna be

Be the one you wanna wanna
Be the one you wanna be

When the house is torn down
When the land fills up with weeds
Will you still remember
Everything you thought you'd be?

When the day is over
And the memory's what you grieve
Be the one you wanna be
Be the one you wanna
