The Artist Lyrics

I come off like a smart ass kid
A little shit, too much to say
Its been like this my whole life, whao oh oh
I've always thought i was smarter than you
Better than you in every way
But i'm smarter now because i know, oh oh
this isn't a love song, i swear
but listen to me
this person that i'm talking about
is what i want to be
sees things differently, than everyone else
shes not so jaded like, like everyone else
to her its all so simple
why cant the whole world see
why cant it all be simple
that simple to me
nothing left for me to do
but sit and watch and want to be
an innocent again, a kid again, a friend to be
depression hits me in the face
searching but i just can't find my place
till she took me by the hands
opened my eyes to see
the roads are long ahead
follow them right out of town
when the sun is shining on your back
the roads only black
when your head is down
sees things differently, than everyone else
shes not so jaded like, like everyone else
to her its all so simple
why cant the whole world see
why cant it all be simple
that simple to me
so i waited for that call, hup hup
picked me up when i would fall, hup hup
she made god see not so very small
she told me the best things in life
aren't things at all
say you want to live forever?
say you want to be a star
say you want to live forever
well that wont get you very far
no, not at all.
