[Intro: Jimmy Skoog] Yeah... People talk a lot... You've just got to find a way to block it out... It's Jimmy! [Verse 1: Jimmy Skoog] Yeah, I was six years old when my mom told me give it all, never hold back So for a few years I would try real hard and I had my moments, no Kodak Relocated from the city to a small town and I moved to a school so notorious And I felt so out of place so it's no lie when the song tell the story of A shy kid, never talked back, feelings hidden by the shades and the ball cap So all their weird looks had me feeling trapped, as others thought of me thinking I was all that And it's funny how they never caught that vibe of a kid that was heading down a dark path And that all their words only made it worse but they just laughed when they walked past, so I'm... [Chorus: Sam Smith] I'm covering my ears like a kid When your words mean nothing, I go la la la I'm turning up the volume when you speak Cause if my heart can't stop it, I find a way to block it I go... [Verse 2: Jimmy Skoog] Lost in the world, keep searching. Grind real hard, putting work in But I still can't see no light at the end of the tunnel, is it worth it? And I heard them say if you're always on the move you won't ever feel the world spin Well, if that's true then that must be the reason I feel like I'm caught up in a whirlwind Stuck, all I need is a little luck, tailwind, a few bucks - I'ma show this Whole world that I've got it all planned and whatever goes down I won't ever lose focus So sick of being told this goddamn lie that I'll never get noticed Trapped in a town all bogus, like a great white in a gold fish bowl, b**h I stay cool, try to get it on Bet it all on this dream they are sh**ting on I ain't saying that I'm better y'all, I'm just little too big for your little pond Sick of being told I can not be the greatest at what I do, just watch me 'cause I know what I'm doing and Alex already told me that he got me, that's why I'm... [Chorus: Sam Smith] I'm covering my ears like a kid When your words mean nothing, I go la la la I'm turning up the volume when you speak Cause if my heart can't stop it, I find a way to block it I go La la la la la... La la la la la... I find a way to block it I go La la la la la... La la la la la... I find a way to block it, I go La la la la la... La la la la la... I find a way to block it I go La la la la la... La la la la la...
