See, it's the way we live our lives
For every contradiction there's a compromise
We're spending countless hours we've saved
(There's only so much time)
Attempting just to meet the well halfway

I want to be like Howard Hughes
(I want a million dollar suit with my tennis shoes)
'Cause I don't wanna give a thought
To what they're gonna do
Because it's never how I look
But who I am in you

See, this is why we've come so far
From any given sense of
Who the christians are
We wanna be so much like them
(I think I'm losing you)
Attempting just to feel like we fit in

I want to be like Howard Hughes
(I want a million dollar suit with my tennis shoes)
'Cause I don't wanna give a thought
To what they're gonna do
Because it's never how I look
But who I am
I want to fly like Howard Hughes
(To confess your heart and I never do)
I keep repeating all my thoughts
That's they sound like a tune
Because I'm always so afraid
Of what I say not getting to you

I wanna be
So let's not be like that
