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 without 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 without 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 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

That in the end

Make it… ok…
