James Roberts - I Repeat Myself
lyrics
I Repeat Myself

I am not original
I'm a paint-by-number set
I'm the last 3 books that I just read
Havent got them figured out just yet

I'm not creative
Get ideas from a magazine
Try to pass them off as something more
Than recycled cliche themes

I take all the words I want to say
And some I wish you would
My reflection goes on endlessly
I repeat myself, I repeat myself, I repeat myself

I could be something more
If I put your mind to it
I'm taking borrowed, old and blue
I cut them up until they fit

I take all the things I hear you say
And some I wish you would
My obsession goes on endlessly
I repeat myself, I repeat myself, I repeat myself

There's nothing new under the sun
So I'm digging in your backyard
For a subterranean inspiration
I can claim as my new ground

I take all the words I want to say
And some I wish I could
My reflection goes on endlessly
I repeat myself, I repeat myself, I repeat myself
