We All Want To Be Different Lyrics

Well, I'm quick to leave my pillow where my nightmares come to me

I can see them floating in the air above my body

The doctor said that cigarettes, whiskey may not help

Well I told him that's the only way that I can trust myself

Well I kissed the face of a girl that I can't stand to see.

So I kissed the face of her friend in hopes her face would leave

But she shows up in every place that I used to go

So then I picked up. This guitar went rambling down the road.

We all want to be different

Or at least perceived that way

And I'm in no way different

And that's what makes me so afraid

And that's what makes me so afraid

There's a stork with a newborn not going anywhere

They're so content to remain unborn

We all perch on our branches

Or on the hard lines that we love

Because that's just what we all signed up for

And public school's to blame for my loss of innocence

But I taught myself to learn how to forget

When I have kids of my own I'll build a world of my mistakes

So they won't have to live with all my regrets

And silent in the pews sat the Gentiles and the Jews.

Because they all sat in wide-eyed amazement

With the opinions that they brought

From all the teachings they were taught

Were all a bunch of false advertisements

We all want to be different

Or at least perceived that way

And I'm in no way different

And that's what makes me so afraid

And that's what makes me so afraid

The church that I belong to believes the same as me

Cause Jesus turned the water into wine (My favorite miracle)

Maybe Jesus smokes his cigarettes asleep in his lawn chair

Maybe Jesus and me we're doing just fine

We all want to be different

Or at least perceived that way

And I'm in no way different

And that's what makes me so afraid

And that's what makes me so afraid
