If I could only read your mind Then I could be the one you need I'm really good at taking care of everybody else but me Maybe if I act real nice Maybe if I smile real big Maybe I could change the shape of who am 'til I fit in I guess I lost myself Trying to be somebody else So I'll sing a song that only I can sing A melody nobody knows but me A million things I could pretend to be Maybe best thing I can be is me Maybe the best thing Maybe the best thing Maybe the best thing I can be is me If I ever show my face Nothing left to hide behind Would anybody stay right here with me no matter what they find It's easier to shut my mouth It's easier to just agree To put my heart inside a box Turn the lock and hide the key I guess I lost myself Trying to be somebody else So I'll sing a song that only I can sing A melody nobody knows but me A million things I could pretend to be Maybe best thing I can be is me I have something to say I can't keep it inside The world needs more people who are truly alive And I have a voice And I have a name This life is a gift It's not a mistake Oh, I have to believe I'm not a mistake So I'll sing a song that only I can sing A melody nobody knows but me A million things I could pretend to be Maybe best thing I can be is me Maybe the best thing Maybe the best thing Maybe the best thing I can be is me Maybe the best thing Maybe the best thing Maybe the best thing I can be is me

Monkeys on their back, a scorpion's on yours You know their hearts are black, they can't follow the course You'd only take a life, that was already over to save another No guns or bombs or knives Your hammer, your hands, your heart is full And you, and you Are the best thing that's ever happened to me And you, and you Are the best thing that's ever happened to me And you, and you Are the best thing that's ever happened to me And you, and you Are the best thing that's ever happened to me They say you have no name, they say you show no signs And who you are by the day, isn't the same in the night But you'd only take a life, that was already over to save another No guns or bombs or knives Your hammer, your hands, your heart is full And you, and you Are the best thing that's ever happened to me And you, and you Are the best thing that's ever happened to me And you, and you Are the best thing that's ever happened to me And you, and you Are the best thing that's ever happened to me

Lying in the dark I know you are awake I will not give in, I will not give in Pulling faces and admitting not a thing I will not give in, I will not give in Lightning flash and everything is sharp and clear I can see it all, I can see it all And as the thunder roars, we're raising up a storm We can shout it down, we can shout it down Gone are the days of complacency Gone are the nights of indifference CHORUS Here we go, here we go for one more turn We can shake, we can shake the trees and earth We can spin, We can spin and not fall down Hold on tight, we can both become unwound You and I are going out And we're dancing in the storm Honestly my foot is always in my mouth Still the words come out, the words come out Not the truth but I have nothing to confess Just a hint of doubt, just a hint of doubt Gone are the days of the sideways step Gone are the nights with no partner Here we go, here we go for one more turn We can shake, we can shake the trees and earth We can spin, We can spin and not fall down Hold on tight, we can both become unwound You and I are going out And we're dancing in the storm In the storm In the storm In the storm (Dancing) In the storm Gone are the days of complacency Gone are the nights with no partner Gone is the way that we used to be Now the corner is turned, heaven knows we've learned Here we go, here we go for one more turn We can shake, we can shake the trees and earth We can spin, We can spin and not fall down Hold on tight, we can both become unwound You and I are going out And we're dancing in the storm Dancing in the storm Gone are the days of the sideways step Gone are the nights with no partner Gone is the way that we used to be Now the corner is turned, heaven knows we've learned
