Like me

(альбом: Apollo XXI - 2019)

[Steve Lacy:]
Hello
This is about me and what I am
I didn't wanna make it a big deal
But I did wanna make a song, I'll admit
Uh, I just wanna, just see who can relate, who's out there
You know, it's like, bro, um
I don't know if you can still relate
You know, and that's what I'm afraid of
I just wanna relate to everyone, so

How many out there just like me?
How many work on self-acceptance like me?
How many face a situation like me?
I wonder, oh
How many out there just like me?
How many others not gon' tell their family?
How many scared to lose their friends like me?
I wonder, I wonder

I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder

I only feel energy, I see no gender
When I talk 'bout fish, I wanna catch ya, I'm a fisher
Now they debate on who I like, they wanna see a list of
Girls and boys out here so they can see if I'm official
I tell 'em, ooh, come down, this ain't your life found
If you want to smile, if you're happy for me now
I hope you can relate, if you can't right now
You might be a little late or you might never get it down
But who like

How many out there just like me?
How many work on self-acceptance like me?
How many face a situation like me?
I wonder, oh
How many out there just like me?
How many others not gon' tell their family?
How many scared to lose their friends like me?
I wonder, I wonder

I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really...

Ah, I used to wanna be normal
I used to lay out the labels and pray that one of them stuck
I used to be myself, ah, but it's too abstract to scratch past
So I ain't asking for an answer like that (No, no)
I'm over hoping for a box to check, a giant past to connect
I'm good with myself over breakfast, yeah
I scavenge my mind, but she rides in spirals counter to clockwise
I'll be your passenger (When you're too distracted to drive)
And I'll be your lover (If you think you're down for the ride)
Ain't got a preference, a wifey or a boyfriend
Or something in-between, we don't need no categories

[Steve Lacy & Daisy:]
How many out there just like me? How many out there?
How many work on self-acceptance like me?
How many face a situation like me?
I wonder, oh I wonder, I wonder
How many out there just like me? How many out there?
How many others not gon' tell their family?
How many scared to lose their friends like me?
I wonder, I wonder

[Steve Lacy:]
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder
I really wonder, wonder, I really, I wonder

I cried to the window
No one heard my pain, just my window
Tears cried on my pillow
I'm in need of a flower, bring some willows
I cry in the window (Ah)
Uh huh (Ah)

I fade away
We'll all fade away
I fade away
We'll all fade away
I fade away
We'll all fade away
I fade away
We'll all fade away
I fade away
I fade away
I fade away
I fade away
I fade away
