lyrics

Listen
I need to have your attention
For a second, before I lose it...
Just go with it...

1, 2, 3, yeah

I've spent half my life working with my own two hands
I don't understand...
I want to be set free to be somebody but I can't, no

Not 'cause I don't know how
Guess I'm not allowed to
I just need time to figure it out
Could you show me how?

'Cause I feel so dumb (so dumb)
Are these strings untying my soul? (so dumb)
And I'll heal when the mirror steals my heart and says...

You know who you are
You know who you are but you don't know how to be
(you don't know how to be)
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
But you don't know how to be useful

It starts with you, you're a pains-taker
Move bricks, sink ships with your moneymaker

Oh! The hours I've spent chasing tails...

Did it dirty to me
Pushed the world down on me
Unholy matrimony
With my worst enemy

* are ya famous yet son? *

You know who you are
You know who you are but you don't know how to be
(you don't know how to be)
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
But you don't know how...
Don't know how to be useful

And time has its way of making me late for everything
But I'm finally ready to face the working day
Get out of my way

Time to go to work

Is it too late?
Is it too late to party?

* kinda seems like it *

You know who you are
You know who you are but you don't know how to be
(you don't know how to be)
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
But you don't know how...
Don't know how to be useful
