Lyrics
i wake up some mornings
thinking about the bus station downtown
those wooden benches groaning under strangers
let my name fade quiet
inside a wallet no one bothers to open (oh…)
i want to be nobody to anyone
just for a while
to see if i’m still here
when i’m not wearing the names they gave me
it’s not that my life is unbearable
that’s the part no one ever sees
i’ve got enough, more than most
but there’s a noise inside me
pointing at a road i passed
and can’t turn back to
i don’t talk about it
most men don’t
we carry it in our lungs
like secondhand smoke
and act like the cough
isn’t telling on us (oh…)
i want to disappear into someone else’s crowd
for a little while
to see if i’m still here
when no one knows who i am
it’s not that my life is unbearable
that’s the part no one ever sees
i’ve got enough, more than most
but there’s a noise inside me
pointing at a road i passed
and can’t turn back to
that’s the confession
i won’t ever do it
but i keep it with me
like a man leaning on a door
he knows will never open (oh…)
it’s not that my life is unbearable
it’s that i can’t stop running that street in my head
like i missed a turn once
and i’m still hoping i can find it again
i’ve built a good house, i’ve filled it with what i can
but there’s a door in me
that keeps swinging open
and i keep looking away
