i’m just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think i am
trying to trace my steps back here again so many times
i’m just a speck inside your hand, you came and made me who i am
i remember where it all began so clearly

i feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
and you create in me something i would’ve never seen

when i could only see the floor, you made my window a door
so when they say they don’t believe, i hope that they see you in me

after all the lights go down, i’m just the words you are the sound
a strange type of chemistry, how you’ve become a part of me
and when i sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
you’re the only one who knows who i really am.

we all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are.
we all wanna be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far.

and we’re all see through, just like glass
and we can shatter just as fast
that light’s been burned out for a while,
i still see it every time i pass
it was lost in the corners of my mind,
behind a box of reasons why
i never doubted it was there,
it just took a little time to find and even when...

i feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
and you create in me something i would’ve never seen

when i could only see the floor, you made my window a door
so when they say they don’t believe i hope that they see you in me

after all the lights go down, i’m just the words you are the sound

and when i sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
you’re the only one who knows who i really am

we all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
we all wanna be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far
we all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
