Wallflower - Dirt Poor Robins

Am I just a number on a page

An alphabetical appearing name

Someone just to tell you it’s okay

How kind for you to ask that I don’t change

All my life the world has passed me by

Wallflowers always stand aside

But not this time, not this time

No, I’m not alright

Everybody dies, but do they live

A sympathetic candle in the wind

When all is said and done, what did I give

If when the trial came, I ran and hid

All my life the world has passed me by

Wallflowers always stand aside

But not this time, not this time, not this time

No, I’m not alright

No second chance and no rehearsals

There’s only one take

So make your move, the window’s closing

No time to play it safe

La da da da da da, la da da da da da

La da da da da da da

La da da da da da, la da da da da da

La da da da da da da

There is nothing else left to be done

'Cause when the trial is you, you cannot run

Too ashamed to stay where I’ve come from

I will not remain as I’ve become

All my life the world has passed me by

Wallflowers always stand aside

But not this time, not this time, not this time

No, I’m not alright

I’m not alright
