You’ve been up since yesterday,
Thinking it’s the only way,
Today’s the day you finally make your mark.
Morning sunlight breaks into your,
Caffeinated room.
To close your eyes would kill the subtle sparks.
Are you a troubadour?
What else could you ever be?
You escape out from the notebook where,
Half of your heart is contained.
Knowing too well how you seem to be endlessly,
Writing down page upon page of your melodies.
Your head starts to nod, the lights start to fade,
As your fingers find notes that no one else can hear.
But outside your room, the world cannot guess,
At the mess that you make to make your message clear.
Are you a troubadour?
What else could you ever be?
What are you searching for?
Was this song meant for me?
[Instrumental Interlude]
(Acoustic Verse)
Stepping out into the street,
Guitar in hand I think I finally,
Found the words to tell you how I feel.
This motionless emotion that I,
Clutch like nickel strings to maple frets,
Begets the silences that scream between the reels.
Am I a troubadour?
What else could I ever be?
Who am I singing for?
Was this song meant for me?
I am a troubadour.
What else could I ever be?
It’s me I’m singing for.
This song was meant for me.
