Song: Everybody Knows
Album: Taking The Long Way
Capo 2
Tell me now if you came sneaking up behind
Would you know me and see behind the smile?
I can change like colors on a wall
Hoping no-one else will find what lies beneath it all
I think I hide it oh so well
CHORUS--
Stepping out, everyone can see my face
All the things I can’t erase
From my life
Everybody knows
Standing out so you won’t forget my name
That’s the way we play this game
Of life
Everybody knows
Looking through the crowd I search for something else
But every time I turn around I run into myself
Here I stand consumed with my surroundings
Just another day of everybody looking
I swore they’d never see me cry
They’d never see me cry
CHORUS--
You say I’ll pay the price
That’s a chance that I’ll take
Though you may think I’m telling lies
But I just call it getting by
CHORUS--
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
I’m just barely getting by (everybody knows)
