One Of Them

One Of Them

you all know my face
know my history
you know where I have been
don’t know where I long to be
know what I have done
and what I should have done instead
you don’t appreciate
all the big mistakes I’ve made

but you don’t know I want to go home

I will sit there and I’m one of them
they all know me more than just my name
more than just my name I am one of them

I used to have such fun
to talk to people in the street
hear what they had to say
about what made their hearts beat
the element of surprise
has become a friend of mine
the element of surprise
turns traitor in time

but I just hide I just hide

I will sit there and I’m one of them
they all know me more than just my name
more than just my name I am one of them

bassoon

song by song and line by line this wall starts to turn see through
and the distance between us shrinks to nothing but the truth
nothing but the truth

now I stand here and I’m one of you
you all know me now what i feel and do
don’t you I am one of you
