Lyrics

[00:07.70] Comin' home used to feel so good
[00:11.24] I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood
[00:15.02] I've seen the world at a faster pace
[00:18.61] And I'm comin' now from a different place
[00:22.39] Though I may look the same way to you
[00:25.87] Underneath there is somebody new
[00:28.67] I am not the boy next door
[00:32.46] I don't belong like I did before
[00:35.70] Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
[00:39.40] You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
[00:42.61] I can't go back there anymore
[00:46.87] 'Cause I am not the boy next door
[00:50.18] You've been savin' all souvenirs
[00:51.99]
[00:53.62] Faded photographs from my foolish years
[00:57.40] We made plans, but they're wearin' thin
[01:00.92] And they won't work out 'cause I don't fit in
[01:04.55] And those memories will just weigh me down
[01:07.80] 'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown
[01:09.85]
[01:10.96] I am not the boy next door
[01:14.76] I don't belong like I did before
[01:17.87] Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
[01:21.56] You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
[01:24.80] I can't go back there anymore
[01:28.83] 'Cause I am not the boy next door
[01:32.41]
[01:39.25] And I'm sorry for just bein' me
[01:42.78] But if you'd look past the past you could see
[01:46.18] That
[01:46.86] I am not the boy next door
[01:50.39] I don't belong like I did before
[01:53.67] Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
[01:57.39] You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
[02:01.03] I can't go back there anymore
[02:04.69] 'Cause I am not, I am not, I am not the boy next door
