Nothing Like You

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Four blocks up and two streets down,

I went back to my old hometown

Like a kid I ran and hid on cue

That's when times were really sad

Winter there was really bad

And we all just froze but for a chosen few

Did you ever see someone you knew

Holding fast and staying strong and true

And they were nothing like you?

Truth to tell and time to burn

I hit the wall at every turn

The ceiling cracked in half and I just flew

Poetry is what I heard

I was hanging onto every word

I was a lover for the world to woo

I have seen the top of Mt. Ventoux

I have seen a miracle or two

And they're N O T H I N G L I K E Y O U

You've been waiting for awhile

I can tell

Off my head and on the fence

Maybe there's no accidents

Anyway I'd say I have come to

So fool me once that might be fun

Fool me twice well that's been done

You can fool me everyday I won't say boo

I believe I have pulled a major coup

I believe I have boarded up the zoo

I believe I have dropped the other shoe

And there's N O T H I N G L I K E Y O U

Four blocks up and two streets down,

I went back to my old hometown

Like a kid I ran and hid on cue

That's when times were really sad

Winter there was really bad

And we all just froze but for a chosen few

Did you ever see someone you knew

Holding fast and staying strong and true

And they were nothing like you?

Truth to tell and time to burn

I hit the wall at every turn

The ceiling cracked in half and I just flew

Poetry is what I heard

I was hanging onto every word

I was a lover for the world to woo

I have seen the top of Mt. Ventoux

I have seen a miracle or two

And they're N O T H I N G L I K E Y O U

You've been waiting for awhile

I can tell

Off my head and on the fence

Maybe there's no accidents

Anyway I'd say I have come to

So fool me once that might be fun

Fool me twice well that's been done

You can fool me everyday I won't say boo

I believe I have pulled a major coup

I believe I have boarded up the zoo

I believe I have dropped the other shoe

And there's N O T H I N G L I K E Y O U
