"Playing For Me"

lyrics

I'll play for friends from time to time
But I don't demand attention
And I will play for family
But it's not to earn affection
If you nudge me just enough
I might even go on stage
But applause and admiration
Are not the things I gauge

Oh, for me, it's the sound
The feeling of the music all around

I'll play for you if you want me to
But I'm just as happy
Playing for no one
Playing for me

Sometimes I'll try and write a verse
But it often comes out coarse
I'll try and catch a melody
But this I cannot force
I don't mind playing covers
It often is the safer choice
Than speaking my own truth
Or singing my own voice

Oh for me, it's the sound
Sensation of elation that abounds

I'll play for you if you want me to
But I'm just as happy
Playing for no one
Playing for me

So I sit out on the porch
A glass of beer and setting sun
And I will play my very best
For an audience of one
It's OK if you walk on by
To me you do no wrong
But if you want pull up a chair
Listen close or sing along

With me, it's the sound
All the good vibrations that surround

I'll play for you if you want me to
But I'm just as happy
Playing for no one
Playing for me
