Collin Englebright - You Instead Lyrics

I can hit every right note
In the car
When I'm driving by myself
I can watch as the sun goes down
From the balcony view
Of some hotel
I can walk every side street
Watch every movie on the shelf
Every time it reminds me
Why I'd rather
Find another
Who loves her mother
The way that I love mine
Going under,
In case you wondered
I think it's time I
Sing to you
Instead of to myself
I've heard it all
A thousand times
Hold the door open for you
And not just
People passing by
I could spend my precious time
And dream about you
In my head
But that ain't me
I'd rather be
Be with you instead
I could fill up a bottle
But it won't fill the emptiness inside
I could soak up the sunlight
But it won't warm the cold
I feel at night
I could tell everybody
That I'm cool flying solo
But I know
It's a lie every time
And I think that's why
I'd rather
Find another
Who loves her mother
The way that I love mine
Going under,
In case you wondered
I think it's time I
Sing to you
Instead of to myself
I've heard it all
A thousand times
Hold the door open for you
And not just
People passing by
I could spend my precious time
And dream about you
In my head
But that ain't me
I'd rather be
Be with you instead
'Stead
Be with you instead
Sing to you
Instead of to myself
I've heard it all
A thousand times
Hold the door open for you
And not just
People passing by
I could spend my precious time
And dream about you
In my head
But that ain't me
I'd rather be
Be with you instead
Be with you instead
Be with you instead
