lyrics

I've known people who go through their days
like a wide eyed old dog slowly crawling away,
fearful, watching the people go by,
never trusting anyone or taking the time
just to say hi.

There've been times when I acted this way,
when I needed so much, I pushed people away
only wanting the things that I had,
never looking for more than the way that I am

but now I believe in everyone I meet,
in everyone who shows me something I can never be.
And I believe in everywhere I go,
in how it’s all the same as where I came from.

You may find yourself running away
from an actor pretending to be what they’re saying.
But I've learned from the years I have seen
that the fool is who acts upon only one thing

and why I believe in everyone I meet,
in everyone who shows me something I can never be.
And I believe in everywhere I go,
in how it’s all the same as where I came from.

But what is more than what you want and what you need in anything?
And if you go to where you feel where you belong suddenly seems
so bloody awful when it's over and you're holding up your head
wondering why you bothered at all

but I believe in everyone I meet,
in everyone who shows me something I can never be.
And I believe in everywhere I go,
in how it’s all the same as where I came from.

And I believe in everyone I meet,
in everyone who shows me something I can never be.
And I believe in everywhere I go,
in how it’s all the same as where I came from.

Because what is more than what you love and what you learn from everything?
And if you go to where you feel so bloody awful all you need
is to go on to where you grow within the things that you have seen,
wondering why you worried at all.
