Out Of Tune
Dave Sills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd sit under stars and sing for the moon
Don't know where I'm going
Just don't tell me to stay
I've got it in my head I'm gonna play guitar
Gonna leave this house and head for a bar
Been scared so long but
Fingers aching I'll be making music with my friends
New world man takin' a stand on the road again
I'm tired of my life being out of tune
I'd sit under stars and sing for the moon
Don't know where I'm going
Just don't tell me to stay
I've got it in my head I'm gonna play guitar
Gonna leave this town and live out of my car
Been scared so long but
Now I think I know the way
