In other lives
In  a bulletproof  suit  with some friends of  mine
I  wrote  the  plotline
Only  I knew  who  survived
Who survived
And through the  night
In  a  really fast car  on an uphill  climb
Blew  past  a danger  sign
And fell  through  darkness, sublime
 But awoke  just  in  time
They're  gonna come to light tonight
They're  gonna come to light tonight
They're  gonna come to light tonight
But  not for the last time
 (listen for the timing)
In younger days
I do my schoolwork  while the neighbors  play
But stare  into  space
With  no feeling  to  convey
 With no  look on  my face
 (same)
 In younger days
 I'm stealing bases while my mother prays
 And dreading to wake
 Longing for one more play
They're  gonna come to light tonight
They're  gonna come to light tonight
They're  gonna come to light tonight
But  not for the last time
I  don't know what everyone  was looking at
I  don't care what everyone was laughing at
I  don't know what everyone  was staring at
I  think, I think that it's me
 (same)
 I don't know what everyone was looking at
 I don't care what everyone was laughing at
 I don't know what everyone was staring at
 I think, I think that it's me
Didn't  I tell  you that  I could hear you running out?
Didn't  I find  you when  I knew you were hiding out?
Didn't  I see  you when  you thought you'd never stand out?
Didn't  I find  you?  Didn't I find you?
I  don't know what everyone  was looking at
I  don't care what everyone was laughing at
I  don't know what everyone  was staring at (they're gonna come to light tonight)
I  think, I think that it's me
Didn't  I see  you when  you thought you'd never stand out? (I think, I think that it's me)
Didn't  I find  you? (They're gonna come to light tonight)
I  think, I think that it's me
I  don't know what everyone  was looking at
I  don't care what everyone was laughing at
I  don't know what everyone  was staring at
I  think, I think that it's me
Didn't  I see  you when  you thought you'd never stand out?
 (mute strings)
 Didn't I find you? (They're gonna come to light tonight)
 I think, I think that it's me
