My turn now

Verse 1

Another night, you're on a roll,

Spillin' stories, losing all control.

I'm just sitting here, playing my part,

While thoughts rip my brain apart.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I get it, you're the star.

But there's a moment, just a beat,

Where my own thoughts just can't be beat.

Chorus

'Cause every now and then, I wanna scream,

I wanna talk about me, burst at the seams!

Talk about my messed-up day,

What I think, what I need to say!

My broken heart, my stupid theories,

Yeah, I like talking about you,

But honestly, it's true:

I wanna talk about ME! ME!

Just for a minute, can't you see?

Verse 2

Remember that time, I got stuck in the rain?

Or the principal, causing me pain?

The weirdest dream, the punk rock show,

The stupid text that made me go "Ugh!"

These tiny moments, they’re mine, they’re real.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I get it, you're the star.

But there's a moment, just a beat,

Where my own thoughts just can't be beat.

Chorus

'Cause every now and then, I wanna scream,

I wanna talk about me, burst at the seams!

Talk about my messed-up day,

What I think, what I need to say!

My broken heart, my stupid theories,

Yeah, I like talking about you,

But honestly, it's true:

I wanna talk about ME! ME!

Just for a minute, can't you see?

Bridge

The spotlight's always on your face,

I'm just a shadow in this place.

A silent friend, always listening.

But a little space, is all I'm wishing!

Guitar Solo

(Short, sharp, and energetic, with quick power chords and a brief lead line, leading back to the chorus.)

Chorus

'Cause every now and then, I wanna scream,

I wanna talk about me, burst at the seams!

Talk about my messed-up day,

What I think, what I need to say!

My broken heart, my stupid theories,

Yeah, I like talking about you,

But honestly, it's true:

I wanna talk about ME! ME!

Just for a minute, can't you see?

Outro

My turn now! Yeah, that's what I said!

Just a little bit of me!

(Drums hit hard, final chord fades)

ME! ME! Oh-oh-oh!
