Life Drawing Video (MV)

I wish I were, I wish I were
I wish I were, I wish I were
I wish I were, I wish I were
I wish I were, I wish I were

I wish I were a life model
Undress, no stress, unbothered
Sit still and let myself be seen
Held up on a pedestal
Unclothed, exposed, warts and all
Stand tall and know I'm not obscene

You'd call my flaws a work of art
You'd see right through into my heart
And wonder about the artists motivation
Sketch every angle, good and bad
Every curve and all that sags
Capture the beauty of my imperfections
I wish I were that confident (I wish I were)
To be myself and be content (I wish I were)
Instead, I stand here and lament (I wish I were)
Oh, I wish I were that confident
I wish I were that confident
I wish I were that confident
I wish I were that confident

Lately I've been exploring
Posing for a life drawing
But something keeps holding me back
I'm hard, on guard, too cautious
And insecure, self-conscious
Don't want to keep living like that

You'd call my flaws a work of art
You'd see right through into my heart
And wonder about the artists motivation
Sketch every angle, good and bad
Every curve and all that sags
Capture the beauty of my imperfections
I wish I were that confident (I wish I were)
To be myself and be content (I wish I were)
Instead, I stand here and lament (I wish I were)
Oh, I wish I were that confident
I wish I were that confident
I wish I were that confident
I wish I were that confident

I'd like to let somebody in
To show my scars and show some skin
Oh, I wish I were that confident
I'd like to bare it all and be fine if they don't like what they see
Oh, I wish I were that confident
But I'm a coward, I'm a prude
I am clever, I am shrewd
One thing I'm not is confident
Someday I'm gonna take it off
This fear, I'm gonna shake it off
Today I'm not that confident
I wish I were that confident
I wish I were that confident
I wish I were that confident
I wish I were, I wish I were
