I’m taking my meds and I’m taking my time
I’m writing from an odd place where nothing seems to rhyme
But I’ve seen some of the world and I’ve formed a few thoughts
So I’ll show you scars and medals from the battles I’ve fought
And I just wanna make a record
That will make my mother proud
I never wanted to upset her
So I threw the last one out
And I just wanna make a record
That will make my lover smile
She left me for another city
I haven’t seen her in a while
So figure out what the hell you wanna be
And try to let the rest come naturally
While I divide all the joy and let the love tear us apart
And research new ways to cure a broken heart
And I just wanna make a record
That will make the critics shake
And even though I might be one of them
I’ll find a way to think it’s great
And I just wanna make a record
That will make your stomach turn
And teach you some sort of lesson
As you live but never learn
If you live on blank pages and die without pen
You can still make your mark on the lives where you’ve been
And though the music feels like home, the lyrics hurt like hell
Cause they came from a memory so close to where I fell
And I just wanna make a record
Then never tell a soul
Pack up and move out to the hillside
And spend all my days growing old
And I just wanna make a record
But then again, I don’t
These words already sting so badly
So in the end, I probably won’t
