Five For Fighting - Nobody Lyrics

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
Without you, buddy you buddy my long lost friend

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 and I'm nobody see I'm nobody, I'm nobody
Without you, buddy you buddy my long lost friend

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
Sometimes 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 well

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
There in lies the balls, and the mind, and the heart
As fear is truly the mind killer 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
That in the end make it okay

You see I'm nobody, I'm nobody, I'm nobody, I'm nobody
Yeah, I'm nobody, I'm nobody without you
Without you, oh oh oh oh
