By the light of a desk lamp, I sat with my paper and crayons Trying to draw the things I saw in my head And by the sound of the crickets Through windows of darkness I'd try to fit the moon in my mouth In my mouth Sometimes when I'm alone And out of view of my own I pretend I'm someone else Taking a look at myself And I wonder what I'll think then And I hope I'll be okay And I'll finally reach the day When everybody sings my song When everybody sings my song When I'll show you my soul By the skin of my teeth I got a break around seventeen And suddenly everyone's acting so differently to me And by the bus I call my home I've seen more miles than I'll ever know Trying to be some kind of rock n' roll hero Rock n' roll hero Sometimes when I'm alone And out of view of my own I pretend I'm someone else Taking a look at myself And I know I'm still thinking And I know I feel okay Now that I've reached the day And everybody's singin' my song And everybody's singin' my song And I show you my soul By the clock I live, Thought I had so much more to give It all came to an end somehow But I made it the best I can Even became a family man Nothing but gold records on my wall On my wall, they're on my wall And sometimes when I'm alone And out of view of my own I pretend I'm someone else Take a look back at myself And I wonder what I was thinking And although it turned out okay I will always miss the day When everybody sang my song When everybody sang my song When I showed you my soul |
