lyrics

You already beat the world in your mind
Like everybody knows who you are
So many people know you online
It's over baby you're a star
Ever since you got verified
It's like you got the world in your arms
But offline you're still scared of life
It's just so hard

If we were to get to know ya
Then we'd all fall in love
Like everything about you
Is just sent straight from above
If we were to get to know ya
It'd make up for the way
That everyone ignores you
In your ordinary day
If we were to get to know ya
Then everyone would see
"Man they are just so different
They're so not like you and me"
If we were to get to know ya
You wouldn't be nameless
You're just dyin to be famous

You shouldn't have to go to work anymore
It's not fair you deserve the world
Everyday life is a bore
You're not like all these boys and girls
They're all so busy with their small little lives
Like any of em really matter at all
But none of them have been verified
They're just so small

If they were to get to know ya
Then they would understand
You're someone they should follow
On that thing that's in their hand
If they were to get to know ya
They'd see just who you are
And maybe they would love you
Like those people from afar
If they were to get to know ya
Then maybe they would see
That you're somethin to strive for
You're somethin that they should be
If they were to get to know ya
You wouldn't be nameless
You're dyin to be famous

Here in the world
This isn't where you belong
Here in the world
These people got you all wrong
Here in the world
You're just a face in the crowd
Here in the world
You wanna scream but you just can't be loud
Here in the world
You're dyin to be famous
