Myself Lyrics

[Intro]
(I wish I could've been there myself)

[Chorus]
It’s what it is, it's how I live
All the places I've been
I wish I could’ve been there myself
I made so much, spent so much
And I can't get enough
I wish I could've been there myself
(Wish I could've been there myself)

[Verse 1]
Your second cousin lives in Orlando (Orlando)
And yeah, I just finished a show (Just finished a show)
People shoving shots down their damn throat
Some selling yes but I'm gonna say no (Gonna say no)

[Chorus]
It's what it is, it's how I live
All the places I've been (I’ve been)
I wish I could’ve been there myself
(Wish I could've been there myself)
I made so much, spent so much
And I can’t get enough (I can't get enough)
I wish I could've been there myself
[Verse 2]
All of this American dreamin'
Everybody’s sick of believin'
Oh, let's not give a fuck 'til
Giving a fuck has no meaning
Oh, I'm sick of believing
All of this American dreaming
Oh, let's not give a fuck 'til
Giving a fuck has no meaning, oh

[Chorus]
It's what it is, it's how I live
All the places I've been
I wish I could've been there myself
(Wish I could've been there myself)
I made so much, spent so much
And I can't get enough (No, I can't get enough)
I wish I could've been there myself
(Wish I could've been there myself)

[Outro]
No, I can't get enough
Oh, oh, oh, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Working with Josh Tillman was incredible. We slammed butts and Bud Lights to write a cool, top-down, summer cruising song about doing all this shit, being everywhere, but not having the time to fully enjoy it. It is always head down and keep going. I wish I could have been there myself.
