[Verse 1]

             
I wish I found

              
 some better s

 
ounds no one’s

 ever heard,

I wish I had a

 better voice 

that sang some

 better words.
             
I wish I found

            
 some chords i

n an order tha

t is new,

I wish I didn'

t have to rhym

e every time I

 sang.
             
I was told whe

          
n I get older 

all my fears w

ould shrink,

But now I’m in

secure and I c

are what peopl

e think.


[Pre-Chorus]
             
My name’s ‘Blu

            
rryface’ and I

              
 care what you

  
 think.
             
My name’s ‘Blu

            
rryface’ and I

              
 care what you

  
 think.

[Chorus]

             
Wish we could 

            
turn back time

         
, to the good 

ol’ days
           
When our momma

eep but now we

’re stressed o

[Verse 2]

             
Sometimes a ce

              
rtain smell wi

 
ll take me bac

k to when I wa

s young,
 
How come I’m n

ever able to i

dentify where 

it’s coming fr

om?
             
I’d make a can

              
dle out of it 

 
if I ever foun

d it,
         
Try to sell it

, never sell o

ut of it, I’d 

probably only 

sell one.
             
It’d be to my 

              
brother, ‘caus

 
e we have the 

same nose,
       
Same clothes h

omegrown a sto

ne’s throw fro

m a creek we u

sed to roam.
             
But it would r

            
emind us of wh

 
en nothing rea

lly mattered,
        
Out of student

 loans and tre

ehouse homes w

e all would ta

ke the latter.

My name’s ‘Blu
