Out of Character

Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character That's what they calling it now, baby, baby Kept my eyes closed to anything new Picked the safest side when I had to choose Let a lot of things just pass me by Just to keep the peace, just to keep things right I got used to reading every room Knowing when to stay, knowing when to move Somewhere in the middle of all that I couldn't tell what I wanted back Maybe I took it too far trying to be who they thought I was Maybe I forgot somewhere along the way that I don't have to live that way Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character 'Cause I won't back down Being myself looks different tonight Maybe for once I'm getting it right Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character That's what they calling it now, baby, baby Yeah, kept the plans that made the most sense Even when they didn't feel like me Made a habit out of second guessing Every choice before I let it breathe I said less when I had something to say Let other voices fill the empty space Then one day I looked at where I'd been And couldn't tell where I fit in Maybe I took it too far trying to be who they thought I was Maybe I forgot somewhere along the way that I don't have to live that way Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character 'Cause I won't back down Being myself looks different tonight Maybe for once I'm getting it right I had the right answer for every question Just never stopped to check my own direction Kept everybody good, kept everybody close While every little compromise took a little more than it pays Plans made, boxes checked Whole life running like a preset Then I caught myself one night, doing everything right Feeling nothing inside I know how it looks from the outside Had it all together, had a reason why But if I gotta keep editing every part just to make it work Then it never was mine from the start No more changing every answer Just because the room changed too If you don't recognize me now Maybe that's the point of breaking through Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character But I won't back down Being myself looks different tonight Maybe for once I'm getting it right Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character 'Cause I won't back down Being myself looks different tonight Maybe for once I'm getting it right Maybe I was never meant to stay predictable, kept moving by the rules till they became invisible One wrong turn, one night, one different view And I finally saw a side I never knew Maybe I was never meant to stay predictable, kept moving by the rules till they became invisible One wrong turn, one night, one different view And I finally saw a side I never knew Maybe I was never meant to stay predictable, kept moving by the rules till they became invisible One wrong turn, one night, one different view And I finally saw a side I never knew Maybe I was never meant to stay predictable, kept moving by the rules till they became invisible One wrong turn, one night, one different view And I finally saw a side I never knew Out of character That's what they calling it now Out of character And I finally saw a side I never knew Out of character That's what they calling it now, baby, baby, yeah, yeah, oh Maybe I was never meant to stay predictable, kept moving by the rules till they became invisible One wrong turn, one night, one different view And I finally saw a side I never knew Maybe I was never meant to stay predictable, kept moving by the rules till they became invisible One wrong turn, one night, one different view And I finally saw a side I never knew
