lyrics

V.1
Although I admit that I have been takin’
Look closely at my hand and you’ll see it been shakin’
From the weight I been holding and I ain’t been letting go

Look deep past my eyes and you see what I’m thinkin’
Tryna give you back all those things that were sinkin’
In my waters so deep so wide though you see me laughin’

Pre-chorus
What did you expect, that I'd become what you want me to?
Only to detect all that hurt that I put on you

Chorus
Don’t expect to see me here
Even if it’s been five years
Gonna take more than the wrench in my hand
If I’m gonna be the man that you want me to

V.2
I’m tired of looking back and seein’ you shoutin’
You’re just skatin’ you so-and-so someday you’re gonna see what I’m sayin’ now so
Watch out for that door you fallin’ out from

I got other plans that I see myself working through
No more taking chances with the life I lucked into
I’ve seen better days through a haze passed out on the floor

Bridge 2:
What did you expect that I’d become what you want me to
Only to inspect every flower that I gave to you
Tryna get me back to the man that you thought you knew
The one that was bet-ter to you
Only if you wanted to

V.5
I been flipping back and forth through pages that I wrote to you
When the grass was green before the hell I put y’all through
When I meant something more to myself than what I been now

Jake Mack is a Chicagoland artist and career musician who finds his voice in the throws of roots-Americana, and good, old- fashioned Rock and Roll. He is joined by The Lesser Stags, a more-than-capable bunch of like-minded musicians to create a progressive, yet classic, sound with notes of Blues, and twinkles of power pop. This quartet looks to the future while giving a reverent nod to the past. ... more
