Johnny Flynn - Brown Trout Blues lyrics

rate me

Time rolls the back wheels of my mind<br />

You helped me put the brakes on 'cos you're kind<br />

I wonder where you learned to be so good<br />

I wonder if I'm doing the best I could<br />

<br />

I could be somewhere else<br />

I should be someone else but<br />

You wouldn't know me if I was<br />

<br />

You'd say I was a stranger just because<br />

You'd say I wasn't weak enough for you<br />

You'd want me just to feel as you do too<br />

<br />

I could be somewhere else<br />

I should be someone else<br />

But you shouldn't tell me what to do<br />

<br />

I'll only take the brakes off if you do<br />

And roll around like marbles on the floor<br />

Please pick me up and roll me out the door<br />

<br />

I could be somewhere else<br />

I should be someone else but<br />

<br />

I guess I'm happy as I am<br />

Sometimes I find it hard to be a man<br />

It's easier just to play the same old game<br />

Of trying to forget my bloody name<br />

<br />

I could be somewhere else<br />

I should be someone else<br />

But how you are mister?<br />

<br />

I know what I'm called<br />

It's just you got me<br />

You got me, you got me stalled
