When There's No One Around

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

It's the song that I sing when there's no one around

This is the man that nobody sees

He wears my old clothes and he looks just like me

Just one of the boys who gets lost in the crowd

He's the man that I am when there's no one around

It's four in the morning, I'm lying in bed

A tape of my failures playing inside my head

It's heartaches and hard knocks and things I don't know

I listen and I wonder where will it go

This is a glimpse of a child that's within'

He's so immature but he's still my best friend

If he could learn how to fly, he'd never touch down

He's the kid that I am when there's no one around

This is a dance I do every day

I let my feet go and get carried away

I let my soul lead and follow the sound

It's a dance that I do when there's no one around

It's still four in the morning, I'm lying in bed

A tape of my failures playing inside my head

It's heartaches and hard knocks and things I don't know

I listen and I wonder where will it go

This is the song that nobody knows

I still can't begin to describe how it goes

But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud

It's the song that I sing when there's no one around
