In other lives
in a bullet-proof suit
with some friends of mine
I wrote the plot line
only I knew who survived
who survived
And through the night
in a really fast car on an uphill climb
blew past a danger sign
and fell through darkness sublime
but awoke just in time
In younger days
I'd do my schoolwork
while the neighbors play
but stare into space
with no feeling to convey
with no look on my face
In younger days
I'm stealing bases
while my mother prays
and dreading to wake
longing for one more play
one more play
I don't know what everyone was looking at
I don't care what everyone was laughing at
I don't know what everyone was staring at
But I think. I think that it's me.
Didn't I tell you
That I could hear you running out?
Didn't I find you
When I knew you were hiding out?
Didn't I see you
When you thought you'd never stand out?
Didn't I find you?
Didn't I find you?
