Five For Fighting - Nobody (live at House of Blues) lyrics

Take off your shoes... Take off yourself Take off your rented mental health Take off your raincoat... settle down Take off your nightmare and your frown There is a place for you to go To see another ringer in a rock show Take my pretense for a time Cause I want to say to you I'm nobody without you...buddy My long lost friend If you're not here to hear me scream Am I silent like a dream Where all the dragons are my friends Each night we meet our bitter ends Do I need you to make me real Like Wheeler spinning his own wheel Quantum strings within my brain Popping sanities insane I'm nobody without you...buddy My long lost friend Not everybody has a brain Not everybody's going sane Not everybody wishes well Not everybody's heaven's hell Sometimes there's someone to blame Sometimes a place for shame Sometimes good's better than bad Sometimes good's better than bad Sometimes good's better than bad Sometimes you're better than me Heaven fell on herself tonight As the devil met me in the wishing well And in that moment I found myself knowing That in the end it's just about you and me Nothing smaller or larger Though dragons are good for the soul Nothing can be better than baring yourself for another... Open for scrutiny, ridicule, and indulgence Therein lies the balls, and the mind, and the heart... As fear is truly the Mindk**er... When nothing is left... Everything is gained... You see I wish I was a poet But I know as we go round and round Though endings are never ever happy It's the happy moments along the way That in the end Make it...ok...
