Looking at my face in a photograph
I was only 17
Been a long time since we looked like that
But you're the same boy standing by me
So I'll close my eyes in thoughts of you
Thinking it might be through
But I've got my pride though I'm alone tonight
Do you remember when we said I do
I won't be the one who walks away
I won't be the one who fades
I won't be the one who walks away
I won't be the one who pains
Standing in the rain as they lowered the flag
Wondering where the spirit was bound
Thinking I could never feel that lost again
But that was then and this is now
I just wanted you to know I can't let go
I'll be here if you still want me
I'll be waiting in the shadows of the unlit side
Where the lost souls are being set free(Michelle Lewis/Teddy Kumpel)
I've been discovered
My trip is over
I'm not really one of you
Nothing is mine but the cracks in the skyline
I guess it's time to tell the truth
Outside I'm normal, but inside I'm green translucent gel
I may seem nice enough but really I am ornery as hell
Can't you tell?
Stop looking at me sideways
I'm just trying to keep my friends
Because I still don't have answers...
I'm just an everyday alien
Stop kicking at my head to see what's underneath my skin
Because I still breath, I still need you
I'm just an everyday alien
Dying to be human again
He's not my brother
And she's not my mother
She's some nice lady trying to help out
It might cause you to wonder
How many others
You'll find wandering about
So many reasons to wanna stay but still I am alone
You called me out, so I'll have to drag my alien butt home
Guess I'll go
Stop looking at me sideways
I'm just trying to keep my friends
Because I still don't have answers...
I'm just an everyday alien
Stop kicking at my head to see what's underneath my skin
Because I still breath, I still need you
I'm just an everyday alien
Dying to be human again
I've been so lost...so far gone
It's almost funny I held out this long
You'll tell everyone the truth about me
And they'll see I'm wrong
I don't belong...
Stop kicking at my head to see what's underneath my skin
Because I still breath, I still need you
I'm just an everyday alien
Dying to be human again...
