tree hill tuesday: i don't wanna be

since i wasn't able to do monday music madness.. i decided tree hill tuesday's entry for this week be Tree Hill's very own opening theme.. "I Don't Want to be" by no other than Gavin DeGraw.. it's like tree hill tuesday and monday music madness in one..

"I Don't Want to be" is one of the songs from DeGraw's debut album Chariot in 2003..

we haven't heard it for a while on the show since season 5 but fans were thrilled during the song's come back in season 8 with a twist..  the show featured different performers each week covering the hit song throughout the season, each in their own unique style.. i wonder what's in store for this song in the upcoming series finale season.. prepare to be surprised Tree Hill fans.. as a fan, i wish Joy/everly would get a chance to do the cover for the opening theme in one of the episodes in season 9.. 

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son,

I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son,

I don't have to be anyone other than the birth of two souls in one,

Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from,

I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been tryin' to be lately,

All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind,

I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wonder what I gotta do,

Or who I'm supposed to be,

I don't wanna be anything other than me,

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn,

I'm surrounded by impostors everywhere I turn,

I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn,

Am I the only one to notice?

I can't be the only one who's learned,

I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been tryin' to be lately,

All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind,

I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wonder what I gotta do,

Or who I'm supposed to be,

I don't wanna be anything other than me,

Can I have everyone's attention please?

If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave,

I came from the mountains,

The crust of creation,

My whole situation made from clay to stone,

And now I'm telling everybody,

I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been tryin' to be lately,

All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind,

I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wonder what I gotta do,

Or who I'm supposed to be,

I don't wanna be anything other than me,

I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been tryin' to be lately,

All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind,

I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wonder what I gotta do,

Or who I'm supposed to be,

I don't wanna be anything other than me,

I don't wanna be, hey yeah, hey yeah,

I don't wanna be, oh, oh, oh,

I don't wanna be,

I don't wanna be anything,

Anything other than me,

I don't wanna be (hey yeah, yeah),

I don't wanna be (hey yeah, yeah),

I don't wanna be (hey yeah, yeah),

Hey yeah, yeah,

Hey yeah, yeah,
