Anthony Raneri - Charleston Lyrics

When I was young I was strange.
Night after night in New York City,
Trying hard not to amount to anything.
People don't change,
Same as it ever was, but now people pay to here me sing.

It's worth a second look,
But I swear I've made myself from glue and smiles,
Stacked upon themselves.
Maybe I'll pretend that I'm somebody else,
Who's closer to what I want to be...

Alone...
I'm so much better on my own.
Wishing I was alone,
I'm so much better on my own.

There's no sign of me here.
I've been to hell and back,
On a train built with pride and failed attempts.
That used to be fun,
I never thought you could reinvent the world
By playing shows and writing songs.

It's worth a second look,
But I swear I've made myself from heart attacks,
Stacked upon themselves.
Maybe I'll pretend that I'm somebody else,
Who's closer to what I want to be...

Alone...
I'm so much better on my own.
Wishing I was alone,
I'm so much better on my own.

Don't wish too hard,
You might get what you want.
I've grown needs so please look at me,
But not too long.
Because I'm better off alone.

So much better on my own.
Wishing I was alone,
I'm so much better on my own.

Alone...
I'm so much better on my own.
Wishing I was alone,
I'm so much better on my own.
