Character Traits

I'm not good at starting conversations

But if you want to talk I'll tell you anything

About myself and my past relations

About the things that brought me here

How I can't fall asleep in dead silence

The ringing in my ears keeps me up

How I grew up on Prince Edward Island

Surrounded by the people I love

I guess that what I'm trying to say

I'm more than just a man on the stage

I'm the books that I read

I'm the earth, I'm the trees

I'm whatever I want to be

I've got time, I've got faith

I've got character traits

I've got friends that I can't wait to see

If I could be anything

I'd still be me

I'm not good at dealing with confrontation

But I think I know the right thing to do

I'm the youngest of my generation

And my grandmother just turned 92

So know that when the mic comes on

I'm more than just a guy who writes songs

I'm the books that I read

I'm the earth, I'm the trees

I'm whatever I want to be

I've got time, I've got faith

I've got character traits

I've got friends that I can't wait to see

If I could be anything

I'd still be me

If I could be anything

I'd still be me
