Description
Similar in structure to my last pop song (Fly Away), maybe it needs another layer or two but I like to keep it as simple as possible. Definitely a little Jonny Lang inspiration in how I chose to sing this one. One or two of the transitions from verse to chorus might need a bit of work too but enough of what I think, please let me know how it sounds and what it needs.

Lyrics
V1
I used to wonder
What I should do
To get your attention
I'd always try
Yes I tried so hard
To make you see my intentions
And I guess all I really wanted
Was for you to think of me
So I asked myself this question
Chorus
What can I do - to be
Something special for you
I used to ask myself again and again
But now I see
I can only be me
So if that's what you want
Here I am
(All I can give is me
No I can't be anybody else
So if you want who I am
Take my hand
Here I am)
V2
Now I'm learning, to let go
Just be who I am
One thing you taught me
How to relax
Even when it seems out of hand
Do you remember
That day I was so worried
You just
Touched my arm and said it's ok
Chorus
V3
Looking at me - look at me now
Do you really see - do you really see
Somebody you want
Singing to you
Will you promise - promise me
To honestly think about what you need
And do what you must if you need to leave
Cause I can tell you what I think
But it's up to you to believe
yeah
I understand
All I can be is this man
So here I am - here I am
Chorus
I used to wonder
What I should do
To get your attention
I'd always try
Yes I tried so hard
To make you see my intentions
And I guess all I really wanted
Was for you to think of me
So I asked myself this question
Chorus
What can I do - to be
Something special for you
I used to ask myself again and again
But now I see
I can only be me
So if that's what you want
Here I am
(All I can give is me
No I can't be anybody else
So if you want who I am
Take my hand
Here I am)
