Nobody - Five for Fighting Take off your shoes take off yourself Take off your rented mental health Take off your raincoat settle down Take off your nightmare and your frown There is a place for you to go To see another ringer in a rock show Take my pretense for a time
Cause I want to say to you I'm nobody I'm nobody I'm nobody I'm nobody I'm nobody I'm nobody without you
If you're not here to hear me scream Am I silent like a dream Where all the dragons are my friends Each night we meet our bitter ends Do I need you to make me real Like wheeler spinning his own wheel Quantum strings within my brain Popping sanities insane I'm nobody
I'm nobody
I'm nobody
I'm nobody
I'm nobody
I'm nobody without you
Not everybody has a brain Not everybody's going sane Not everybody wishes well Not everybody's heaven's hell Sometimes there's someone to blame A place for shame
Sometimes good's better than bad Sometimes good's better than bad Sometimes good's better than bad Sometimes you're better than me
Heaven fell on herself tonight As the devil met me in the wishing well And in that moment I found myself knowing That in the end it's just about you and me
Nothing smaller or larger
Though dragons are good for the soul Nothing can be better than baring yourself for another Open for scrutiny ridicule and indulgence Therein lies the balls and the mind and the heart As fear is truly the mindkiller When nothing is left Everything is gained You see I wish I was a poet But I know as we go round and round Though endings are never ever happy It's the happy moments along the way Make it ok
