Tim O'brien - When There's No One Around lyrics

This is the song that nobody knows I couldn't begin to describe how it goes But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud The song that I sing when there's no one around This is the man that nobody sees He wears my old clothes, he looks just like me If he learned how to fly, he'd never touch down The man that I am when there's no one around It's four in the mornin', I'm lyin' in bed A tape of my failures playin' inside my head Hard knocks and heartaches, things I don't know I listen and wonder where will it go This is a glimpse of the child within' He's so immature but he's still my best friend Just one of the boys who gets lost in the crowd The kid that I am when there's no one around This is the dance that I do every day Let my feet go, wander away Let my soul lead, follow the sound That dance that I do when there's no one around It's four in the mornin', I'm lyin' in bed A tape of my failures playin' inside my head Hard knocks and heartaches, things I don't know I listen and wonder where will it go This is the song that nobody knows I couldn't begin to describe how it goes But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud The song that I sing when there's no one around
