Who are you when you are on your own
All by yourself, coming home?
Do you take off the clothes that you wore to work 
Peeling the paint from the wood?

Do you dream in the dark of the roots and trees? 
The scars and all the uncovering.
Yeah, whenever that shame tries to bury you
I hope you will find your way through. 
Remember I am I am I am…

When the face on that moon is just a deadpan
For your rhyming, when it’s just denying
That we get to be what we wanna be…
When the sun in the morning is just a reason
To keep on sleeping, when you’re just breaking even 
Yeah we get to be what we wanna be.

You’re more than the worst thing you’ve ever done. 
You’re more than the worst thing you’ve ever known.
I’ll tell you mine and you tell me yours, 
And we will know we are more.

Remember when you feel you go astray, 
Who made the rules for us anyway?
Yeah we get to be what we wanna be. 

When the face on that moon is just a deadpan
For your rhyming, when it’s just denying,
Yeah we get to be what we wanna be.
When the sun in the morning is just a reason
To keep on sleeping, when you’re just breaking even 
Yeah we get to be what we wanna be.

Well all I know,
Yeah all I know
When I let go of all this woe…
 
You’ll be my valentine of sorts, 
I’ll be love’s echo and reports.
Together we’ll dance under that turning sky 
Like tumbling bats as the stars arrive.

And the face on that moon is gonna laugh and swoon 
And flightless birds will find their groove
’Cause we get to be what we wanna be
Yeah we get to be what we wanna be.

When the sun in the morning is just a reason
To keep on sleeping, when you’re just breaking even 
Remember I am I am I am…
Yeah we get to be what we wanna be.
It’s good to be you and it’s good to be me.
