LYRICS:
When writing is your best friend
and the days seem to fly by
seasons change and come back around
you’re still asking why
that don’t have answers
things change but it’s still the same
you go to parties
and realize you don’t know anyone/
as well anymore
why is it that I came?
Another day
of random happenings
I try to make it fit together
in a log-i-cal way
but more often than not
I just give up
I may not be logical
but I’ll be o.k.
Things are moving around me
But every year I think the same way
People are changing around me
You’re not the same person I knew yesterday
Events are taking place inside me
I can hear my own voice
unrecognizable to me --
I forget that I control my actions
but do I really, or IS IT SOMEONE
ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
In sixth grade I was the same person
my thoughts mature
for my time
Now maybe
my peers will pass me
I’ll be adolescent forever
until I die.
Sometimes I wish I could
watch
the future
fast-forwarding through
the X-rated parts
my life is too adult for me
I’m too immature to be my-self.
Every event foreshadows
every foreshadowing event to come
everything is obvious/
but we don’t see it -- we’re all
too dumb
Things are moving around me
But every year I think the same way
People are changing around me
You’re not the same person I knew yesterday
Events are taking place inside me
I can hear my own voice
unrecognizable to me --
I forget that I control my actions
but do I really, or IS IT SOMEONE
ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
I wonder if I know you
probably not because you don’t know yourself
have I ever known you?
the person you were was just leading to
something else
The people of the past are forgotten
because they cease to exist an-y more
you deny you were once someone else
you’re embarrassed because it’s not you an-y more.
But it is still with you
Somewhere in the back of your mind
Someday you’ll retrieve it
but that day will be another
time.
Everybody/ in this town
has known everybody/ at one time
now you’re a stran-/ ger and i’m
Things are moving around me
But every year I think the same way
People are changing around me
You’re not the same person I knew yesterday
Events are taking place inside me
I can hear my own voice
unrecognizable to me --
I forget that I control my actions
but do I really, or IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
Things are moving around me
But every year I think the same way
People are changing around me
You’re not the same person I knew yesterday
Events are taking place inside me
I can hear my own voice
unrecognizable to me --
I forget that I control my actions
but do I really, or
IS
IT SOMEONE
ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
IS IT SOMEONE ELSE!?
