about

This song is literally about writer's block. I wrote it on a bus ride home from Atlanta. I remembered that the night before, I was thinking and praying on the hotel room floor: If God wanted me to completely stop playing music or if I were unable to play anymore, how would I take that? I knew I needed to put that sort of mentality into this song.

lyrics

Lights a blazin,’ wishin,’ thinkin’
How'm I gonna make this cursor stop a blinkin,’ blinkin,’ blinkin’

Seems the only space is staring in my face
And the world that is outside of my window
Hoping someday I’ll be out there

Instead I'm schemin,' dreamin,' losin' feeling
In my legs and my grip on reality
'Cause I’m thinkin,' thinkin,' overthinkin'

Pre-Chorus:
But there’s a price that we all pay
Each and every way
Except the road that’s already paved

Chorus :
I only wanna be like you
Seems when the best of me shines on through
Forget the lights
Forget the fame
My mission is to bless Your name
I only wanna be like
Only wanna be
Only wanna be like You

Heart's a racin,' fingers pacing
Hovering on the verse to make a hit on the radio station, station, station

Gonna write it down hit another town
But the bus I’m on is leading me home
So I can stretch out and walk my life

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

So I’ll stop and pray
When I’m movin' through my day
So my God
My God
Can speak the words, speak the words
And make all His dreams come true

Chorus

Chorus

I only wanna be like you
Seems when the best of me shines on through

Your name

I only wanna be like
Only wanna be
Only wanna be like You
