lyrics

GET ME BACK TO NORMAL
I used to want money
I used to want fame
I used to want a thousand marquees plastered with my name

I used to want friends
I used to want foes
I used to want style, perfect hair and shiny clothes

But then I got lost
Out on my own
Yeah baby I was way ahead of the pack
But somehow I just lost track
Now I gotta get me back to normal

I used to need purpose
I used to need drive
I used to need constant validation just to survive

I used to need love
More than I could ever give
I thought without love it’d be near impossible to live

But let me say I’ve been living
Living just the same
Yeah babe I used to need to be in love with you
It was all I ever thought to do
Now I just need to get me back to normal

My life’s spinning out of control
Oh, where did my strength go?
