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 head, 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 can only see the floor, you made my window a door So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you and 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 coldness of my mind, behind a box of reasons why I never doubted it was there, 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 can only see the floor, you made my window a door So when they say they don't believe I hope that they see you and me After all the lights go down, I'm just the words you are the sound A strange type of chemistry, and 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 We all wanna be somebody, (be somebody) we just need a taste of who we are We all wanna be somebody, (be somebody) we're willing to go but not that far 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 When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you and me
