Bayside – I And I lyrics

I've got a stage and a mic,
Which I use to say things you won't like.
But I spent years thinking I was alone. (Thinking I was alone.)
Now I know, now I know, that I'm not, that I'm not,
And I'm sharing that comfort with those,
Who think that hope is lost.

Oh, and I'm so proud of where I am.
I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly.

So, hold back.
Steadfast you've got to breathe,
And be content. Just count to ten,
Like all the experts say and hear.
The drugs don't seem to work,
And they've got a padded room for you,
To get your just deserves.

If I could choose my own name,
I'd choose something that's bold and fits,
Like anger, aggression, or cunningly brash,
By the skin of my teeth but with timing and class.

Oh woe is me. (Oh woe is me.)
Oh woe were us, (Oh woe were us.)
But not anymore.
We stand up for ourselves.
We're like captains at war;
We'll get followed to hell.

Oh. and I'm so proud of where I am.
I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly.

So, hold back.
Steadfast you've got to breathe,
And be content. Just count to ten,
Like all the experts say and hear.
The drugs don't seem to work,
And they've got a padded room for you,
To get your just deserves.

I and I, we're taking control of our lives.
I and I, we're taking control of our lives.
I and I, we're taking control of our lives.
Everything's alright.
I and I, we're taking control of our lives.
I and I, we're taking control of our lives.
I and I, we're taking control of our lives.
Everything's alright.

So (So) hold back.
Steadfast you've got to breathe,
And be content. Just count to ten,
Like all the experts say and hear.
The drugs don't seem to work,
And they've got a padded room for you,
To get your just deserves.
