Oh, here I go again I wake up every morning to this Groundhog Day Thinking about the list of things that I've done wrong Can't even count, it goes on too long I try to change my ways I feel like I'm the villain in some crappy play The book has long been written But I'd rather be just about anyone else but me I hope you see It doesn't mean I'm not a fighter It's just that I wanna be a little lighter Spent so long fixing things I've done I've got holes in all my pockets Even those holes, they've got pockets Hiding things that'll never see the sun I'm taking off Going to Rio I'm getting lost to find an alter ego It could be Paris or Berlin I don't care what state I'm in Gonna leave it all behind Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else This is not an invitation I'm going to Rio This is not a conversation Say good-bye to me, oh Maybe in ten years time, You'll receive a letter from some random guy You'll like him so much better, but then you will see He's not a stranger it's only me I could only be myself As somebody else 'Cause you got sun, I got bad weather Anything you can lose, I can lose better Did my best with what life gave to me I've got holes in all my pockets Even those holes, they've got pockets Hiding things that I sure want to leave I'm taking off Going to Rio I'm getting lost to find an alter ego It could be Paris or Berlin I don't care what state I'm in Gonna leave it all behind Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else This is not an invitation I'm going to Rio This is not a conversation Say good-bye to me, oh Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue I can't even eat the things you do Bake you a cake, and I'll burn it up twice I roll thirteen on a pair of dice Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue I can't even eat the things you do Bake you a cake, and I'll burn it up twice I roll thirteen on a pair of dice I'm taking off Going to Rio I'm getting lost to find an alter ego It could be Paris or Berlin I don't care what state I'm in Gonna leave it all behind Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else This is not an invitation I'm going to Rio This is not a conversation Say good-bye to me, oh This is not an invitation I'm going to Rio This is not a conversation Say good-bye to me, oh
