Limelight Stricken

Destination: holiday
I need a place to run away to
Try to keep my thoughts at bay
The clock keeps tickin’
Can’t relax
I need a change
Some time to stop to rearrange
You know, I think it’s rather strange
These thoughts I’m thinkin’

Somebody’s gotta be the best
Somebody’s gotta lead the rest
Somebody’s even more obsessed
The clock keeps tickin’
But, who am I to disagree
Let’s, give it up for Somebody
For now – I’m glad it isn’t me
That’s limelight stricken

‘Cuz I’m about to lose my mind
I’m under pressure now
I can’t imagine how
It could be greener on the other side
Don’t shine the limelight in my eyes
I’d rather make my mark
Still playin’ glow in the dark
‘Cuz I’ve got nothin’ to prove
Not tryin' to be Somebody

Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
That’s limelight stricken

I’ve got like zero social clout
But, still that fear of missing out
Has got me turning inside out
With status checkin’
‘Cuz what if someone gives a damn
Or questions
Who I think I am
Or tags my pic on Instagram
Nice profile pickin’

Somebody’s gotta be the best
Somebody’s gotta lead the rest
Somebody’s even more obsessed
The clock keeps tickin’
But, who am I to disagree
Let’s, give it up for Somebody
For now – I’m glad it isn’t me
That’s limelight stricken

‘Cuz I’m about to lose my mind
I’m under pressure now
I can’t imagine how
It could be greener on the other side
Don’t shine the limelight in my eyes
I’d rather make my mark
Still playin’ glow in the dark
‘Cuz I’ve got nothin’ to prove
Not tryin’ to be Somebody

I want you to love me
To hold me
Download me
To share
At least care
But, at the end of the day
We’re all just one in the same
Another follow to gain
Tryin’ to verify fame
With just a check and a username

Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
That’s limelight stricken

Somebody’s gotta be the best
Somebody’s gotta lead the rest
Somebody’s even more obsessed
The clock keeps tickin’
But, who am I to disagree
Let’s, give it up for Somebody
For now – I’m glad it isn’t me
That’s limelight stricken

‘Cuz I’m about to lose my mind
I’m under pressure now
I can’t imagine how
It could be greener on the other side
Don’t shine the limelight in my eyes
I’d rather make my mark
Still playin’ glow in the dark
‘Cuz I’ve got nothin’ to prove
Not tryin' to be Somebody

Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
That’s limelight stricken
