Lyrics

I'M REALLY SOMEONE ELSE

I can hear a siren
Out my window cryin'
As this day is dyin'
Across this nation

In a land of promise
Filled with less than honest
I feel like Doubting Thomas
On vacation

I've had my ups and downs
I've had my turnarounds
Not every time I found
That I was learning

But now I'm stationary
All my secrets buried
So like a missionary
I am burning

CHORUS:
Time doesn't heal
Time only steals
I keep telling myself
It's as if I really someone else

I feel in between
Like just before I dream
When everybody seems
A little familiar

I've got to take a chance
On random circumstance
And try to shake this trance
That constantly lingers

I walk around my block
I'm in a state of shock
I think we're all in hock
Up to our eyelids

I swear to kingdom come
Someday this bill will come
And then we'll all get drunk
And talk about what we did

CHORUS:
It may be a faze
But I feel like I'm dazed
I keep telling myself
It's as if I'm really someone else

There's been many times
Throughout this life of mine
I set up borderlines
And then I crossed them

I thought an awful lot
About the things I got
Then like a pistol shot
I realized I lost them

Life's not a shopping list
Of everyone I kissed
Or everything I missed
As I pass through it

It's not a clever line
Sung in quarter time
It's like a conga line
That keeps on moving

May be a shame
I’ve no one to blame
I keep telling myself
It’s as if I’m really someone else
