Behind My Glasses
Music & Lyrics by Ryan Hommel

My window shines like the moon when I wake up
In the middle of the night
I keep my glasses off
For all the same reasons I do when I’m in New York City

Whatever the hell you do
Bad things can happen to you
It’s just a way to keep me true
Keep me from feeling blue
But it’s not all bad times, let me tell you

I’m not ignoring reality but 17-year-old Sam Burns
Had it right
If you can help if you should never
Ever miss a party on a Saturday night

It’s not always a party here behind my glasses
But if you want to make all the dicks look like asses
All you gotta do is
Reach up and turn your four eyes into two

Whatever the hell you do
Bad things can happen to you
It’s just a way to keep me true
Keep me from feeling blue
But it’s not all bad times, let me tell you

It’s my decision
When I’m seeing crystal clear
It doesn’t have to be a prison
To let the world be blury
And let nature have its way

It’s not always a party here behind my glasses
But if you want to make all the dicks look like asses
All you gotta do is
Reach up and turn your four eyes into two

Whatever the hell you do
Bad things can happen to you
It’s just a way to keep me true
Keep me from feeling blue
But it’s not all bad times, let me tell you
