Wannabies Lyrics

None of us can help dreaming
Because a dream is what colours our lives
So we wish though it never comes true

Any time at any place
We're writing down a page of our own story
Everyday is a new adventure
Hardship is also a part of the story

Close your eyes fast and you can become the one you wanna be

We wanna be We wanna be M.Jordan
We wanna be We wanna be Brad Pitt
We wanna be We wanna be Hiroshige
We are wannabies

Any time at any place
We're writing down a page of our own story
Looking for the title of our own
Heading towards the new chapter ahead

Close your eyes and you can feel it
The way you wanna go is always right
We are just wannabies

We wanna be We wanna be J.Hendrix
We wanna be We wanna be Bruce Lee
We wanna be We wanna be A.Einstein
We are wannabies
We can dream it

Any time at any place
There're people struggling to figure out
What is the point of being real and
What is the point of being original
Close you eyes and you can see it
Your name is on the cover of your book
You are self-titled

We are all wannabies

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song pwns!

Anyway, it's simple, it's about how people wanna be something or someone else, and how we live to be that thing.

If you haven't heard this song you should!

I do love this song. I love how they incorporate both Japanese and American celebrity names. My favorite line is "Close you eyes and you can see it Your name is on the cover of your book You are self-titled" It's a battle cry for originality; telling the world to look at themselves and be proud that they aren't M. Jordan or A. Einstein but are themselves and encourage them to write their own stories!
