Can't seem to find the words to say
Having arguments inside my brain
Keep retracing every single step I take
Can I make a living on my own?
Don't got a hit song on the radio
Wish that I could look into a telescope

I'll play the lead in my own movie
I memorized all of the parts
Have no control of where the story goes
Been playing catch-up from the start
I'll play the tape back I've recorded
So I can say it all worked out
I'll play the lead in my own movie
I'll play the lead in my own movie

I've got problems that I can't escape
Conversations that are hard to make
Need to feel the rain and step out from the shade
My voice, I'm learning how to use
Instead of saying other people's views
It's okay if they don't all agree with you

I'll play the lead in my own movie
I memorized all of the parts
Have no control of where the story goes
Been playing catch-up from the start
I'll play the tape back I've recorded
So I can say it all worked out
I'll play the lead in my own movie
I'll play the lead in my own movie

I found out, I found out
Who it was
I found help, I found help
From above
I found out, I found out
Who it was (who it was)
I found help, I found help
From above (above)
I found out, I found out
Who it was (who it was)
I found help, I found help
From above (above)

I'll play the lead in my own movie
I memorized all of the parts
Have no control of where the story goes
Been playing catch-up from the start
I'll play the tape back I've recorded
So I can say it all worked out
I'll play the lead in my own movie
I'll play the lead in my own movie
