The Veronicas - Born Bob Dylan lyrics

If I don't say anything it's wrong

If I said it, it wouldn't come out right

It's been keeping me up all night

Half my life I've been told to shut up

So how am I gonna open up?

Wish you could just read my mind



If I shared all of me, would you run away?

If I sugar-coated what I had to say in poetry

Would it make you stay?



I wish I was born Bob Dylan

Had all the words to speak my feelings

I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks

And followed my heart, unafraid of the truth

Even if I stood alone

I didn't know how it was gonna go

Even if the water was cold

I'd take a deep breath and get it off my chest



I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan



They say either way you'll win

If you feeling it, why you gotta hold it in?

What is meant to be will be

But all that wisdom doesn't help me now

I'm scared and I gotta find out

How to speak my mind without metaphors and rules and rhymes

I'll still make you mine



I hope you know what I mean when I'm acting mean

'Cause I don't say what I mean when I'm caught in-between

I'm afraid the real you is eluding me



I wish I was born Bob Dylan

Had all the words to speak my feelings

I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks

And followed my heart, unafraid of the truth

Even if I stood alone

I didn't know how it was gonna go

Even if the water was cold

I'd take a deep breath and get it off my chest



I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan



With you I'm ripped right open at the seams

I'm not that tough

Wish you could hear the song inside of me

But it's not enough

And all the things I wanna say to you are written on my face



I wish I was born Bob Dylan

Had all the words to speak my feelings

I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks

And followed my heart, unafraid of the truth

Even if I stood alone

I didn't know how it was gonna go

Even if the water was cold

I'd take a deep breath and get it off my chest



I wish I was born Bob Dylan

Even if I stood alone

Didn't know how it was gonna go

Gotta get it off my chest

And hope for the best



I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan



I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan

I wish I was born Bob Dylan
