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

to the same questions/

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

everybody in this town

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!?
