rosa (pt) - lakes lyrics
[verse 1]
a lake at night
where floats my mind
so calm, so mild
so sick inside
don’t be surprised
when it arrives
moons change the tide
(but lakes have no tides though)
[pre-chorus]
meant to be like them, they said they didn’t like it
meant to be myself but everybody wanted more
meant to be god the people came to fight me
meant to tell them “stop” but stopped ’cause i know words fall short
to be a tree, gave up before they cut me
meant to k!ll myself but everybody wanted more
meant to be sea but roughness isn´t lovely
lakes, i’m sorry, yeah…
[chorus]
i can’t be your star
i don’t even own a car
how am i to go
where the stars go?
i can’t be the man
i don’t even have a band
how am i to be
anyone but (me)?
[hook]
me me me me me me
me me me
me me me me me me
me me me
anyone but (me)?
me me me me me me
me me me
me me me me me me
me me me
[verse 2]
tainted eyes see more than the sun
the scars that made me become
unhappy mixed up with fun
i’m so funny…
so hard to live this double life
where i let you see me cry
but you just care when it’s sunny
[pre-chorus]
meant to be like them, they said they didn’t like it
meant to be myself but everybody wanted more
meant to be god the people came to fight me
meant to tell them “stop” but stopped ’cause i know words fall short
to be a tree, gave up before they cut me
meant to k!ll myself but everybody wanted more
meant to be sea but roughness isn´t lovely
lakes, i’m sorry, yeah…
[chorus]
i can’t be your star
i don’t even own a car
how am i to go
where the stars go?
i can’t be the man
i don’t even have a band

[interlude: bo burnham]
you know i look out at
i look out at you and hmm… it’s a very diverse crowd
i mean, more european than i would’ve hoped but we’ll get there
i look at the young people, you know
and i feel like i was born in 1990 and i was sort of raised in america
when it was a cult of self-expression and i was just taught
you know, express myself and have things to say
and everyone will care about them
and i think everyone was taught that
and most of us found out
no one gives a sh-t what we think
so we flock to performers by the thousands
’cause we’re the few that have found an audience
and then i’m supposed to get up here and say “follow your dreams”
as if this was a meritochracy?
it is not, ok?
i had a previleged life and i got lucky
and i’m unhappy
lakes i’m sorry yeah…
[chorus]
i can’t be your star
i don’t even own a car
how am i to go
where the stars go?
i can’t be the man
i don’t even have a band
how am i to be
anyone but (me)?
[hook]
me me me me me me
me me me
me me me me me me
me me me
anyone but (me)?
me me me me me me
me me me
me me me me me me
me me me
anyone but me
