Owen Riegling - Anything But Me Lyrics

Owen Riegling Lyrics

"Anything But Me"

I always thought that it was cool that you knew the words to quotes in movies
Everyone at school, you'd make 'em laugh
You'd hang out with your brother's friends, and tell us all about the weekend
How many beers you had

I had no clue who the hell I was
Forehead on the window ridin' home on the bus
I close my eyes 'cause what I wish that I could see
In that foggy reflection was

Anything but quiet, anything but different
Anything but just a kid from some nowhere little town
You were going places, you had your shit together
I was just a lost soul wishin' I was found
I wanted to be like you, God knows that I tried to
Hell, some days I would've fuckin' died to
Yeah, I'da given anything to be
Anything but me

While you were out at the party raisin' hell and gettin' high
I was always somewhere lost in my guitar
I'd crank it up to 10 and play the same three chords again
Never thinkin' it would get me very far

Top of my lungs, bangin' on the strings
Damn, I tried so hard to be

Anything but quiet, anything but different
Anything but just a kid from some nowhere little town
You were going places, you had your shit together
I was just a lost soul wishin' I was found
I wanted to be like you, God knows that I tried to
Hell, some days I walked right out of high school
Yeah, I'da given anything to be
Anything but me
Anything but me

Always chasin' somethin' that I never had
But you were always there, you always had my back
'Cause that's what friends are for, took years for me to see
That I was always fightin', but you never wanted me to be

Anything but quiet, anything but different
Anything but just a kid from some nowhere little town
You said I was going places, I had my shit together
Thought I was goin' nowhere, but look where I am now
I wanted to be like you, God knows that I tried to
Do you know what you did for me? 'Cause I do
And these days I can't imagine tryin' to be
Anything but me
Anything but me
Anything but me
Anything but me

Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but, anything but
Anything but
