Brian David Gilbert - i wish that i could wear hats lyrics

I wish that I could wear hats
Without looking like a little lad
Or looking like a little league dad
Or looking like a guy named Chad

But it seems my head will have to stay
Without a bowler or beret
Lest someone sees me and they say
"Is that his style or bad cosplay?"

I wish I had no fears
About looking like I have no ears
Or that I haven't
Left my house in years
Or I have strong opinions about beers
Or looking like I got confused
In the middle of dressing
For a steampunk con
Or looking like I look
Too long in the mirror
Every time I put a new hat on

Wondering why do I look
So bad - or not bad
But sad that this hat
Won't look like I had
A plan for this cap, to capitalize
On how my face looks
My body this size

My eyes in my skull
This hat on my hair
The eyes that look
At the things that I wear
And how does it look?
And how do I look?
And how can I look how
I look and not care?

Comparing my clothes
With others, much closer
To their own goals
Or some sort of closure
How do they do what they
Want and look planned?
I come to you now
My hat in my hand

I wish that I could wear hats
Without sparking something to recall
I wish that I could wear hats
Without looking any way at all
