City lights shine down upon the place that I call home Surrounded by a million but I feel like I'm alone And I might be a nobody to you But if I'm playing, would you listen?
If you would get to know me Maybe you would love me I'm so ordinary
Dragging 'round an old guitar that I can't even play I fade into your background like a piece of yesterday I might be a nobody to you But somewhere they're gonna listen
If you would get to know me Maybe you would love me I'm so ordinary And if you would let me know you Maybe I would show you Wouldn't we be something?
Sad the way we always seem to pass by one another Hiding, so afraid of the things we might discover Caught up in a moment that only you can live in You never know who's giving the air that you might breathe in
[Chorus]
City lights shine down upon the place that I call home Surrounded by a million but I feel like I'm alone And I might be a nobody to you But somewhere, they're gonna listen
