Ought to be Lyrics

One day I'll drive away in my brand new car and choose what music plays

And he won't get a say in the things I do or my day-to-day

But I'll dust off my knees

Just smile and say "Cheese"

Cos' you won't believe

The wasted time, all the wasted lines

But, maybe it's just superstition

Or some crazy premunition

That keeps me from losing my mind

And I thank you for asking

When I get the answers I'll pass in

And I'll show you what I've found

Here's how it sounds

I don't know where to start

But even when the ache inside of my heart gets the better of me

I'm tired of how I've been so dishonest constantly

But honestly (honestly)

There's just no stopping me (won't let him knock me)

One day I will achieve

The man I ought to be

So January's come around, judging by the sound of rain beating down

But it won't get to me, not overwhelmed but free, providing energy

So I'll, I'll lace up my shoes

Just stop singing the blues

It's time I refuse

To be wasting time, Interrupting my mind

But, well maybe it's just superstition

Or some crazy premunition

That keeps me from falling behind

And no, I thank you for asking

When I get the answers I'll pass in

And I'll hope that you're around

Here's how it sounds

I don't know where to start

But even when the ache inside of my heart gets the better of me

I'm tired of how I've been so dishonest constantly

But honestly (honestly)

There's just no stopping me (won't let him knock me)

One day I will achieve

The man I ought to be

If you had asked me a year ago, where would I be? I wouldn't know

If you had asked me a year ago, where would I be? I wouldn't know

If you had asked me a year ago, where would I be? I wouldn't know

If you had asked me a year ago, I'd say to you

"I've got no hope"

Cos' I don't know where to start

But even when the ache inside of my heart gets the better of me

I'm tired of how I've been so dishonest constantly

But honestly (honestly)

There's just no stopping me (won't let him knock me)

One day I will achieve

The man I ought to be
