lyrics

By now you know that I’m no piece of cake
5 albums in, you probably need a break
Hard to believe somebody married me
Well she did
And we have a kid

I always think of what my father said
How I put every grey hair on his head
I tried to prove him wrong by writing songs
Is this my dream
Or my self-esteem?

Maybe it’s me who’s been making life
Harder than it needs to be
Maybe I might be the guy my wife
Wants to go to dinner with
Start a new beginning with
The baby’s bringing out the best that I can be
I finally figured out
How to work the Apple TV
Maybe it’s me
Or maybe it’s

Because I never knew I had it good
Because I never did the things I should
Because I never had the confidence
To push fear aside
And swallow my pride

I’m pretty sure that was my mother’s fault
She never taught me how to somersault
I watched while other boys tumbled toward
Endless applause
Thinking they were the cause

Maybe it’s me who’s been making life
Stranger than it needs to be
Maybe I might be the guy my wife
Wants to watch a movie with
Hang in the jacuzzi with
The baby’s bringing out the best that I can be
I finally figured out
Nobody calls it a jacuzzi
Maybe it’s me
Or maybe it’s

The thought that I can make my mark
With my own hands
Maybe it’s time I realized
I’m just a kid in the park
Building castles in the sand

Maybe it’s me who’s been making life
Better than it needs to be
Maybe I might be the guy that I
Wished that I could be someday
Tom Hanks cast as Hemingway
The baby’s bringing out the best that I can be
My lady says I’m changing
I think I have to agree
Maybe it’s me
Or maybe it’s
That I can finally see
How easy and
Sweet this life can be
When I finally let go
Of who I think I should be
Maybe it’s me
Maybe its me
Maybe it’s
