These days
It doesn’t matter, I can let myself go
No disguise, just go for a stroll
It’s back to anonymous
But those years were
One big blur
I’m not sure where I have been
I dream the pieces back now and then
Is it cliche
Does it sound so ungrateful
When it comes out that way?
If so, I only mean to say
Thank you for those crazy days
But it’s back to anonymous
Strangers
Creepy and comfortable that they knew my name
It’s not at all what I thought that fame would be
It was just a small world
For a while
Is life better now?
Well, that depends on how I’m feeling about it
It’s not so much that I wanted out
I really didn’t have a say
But it’s a big world
With un-famous people who deserve
The grand applause
And they quietly carry on
I’d like to think that I could be that strong
Daydreaming on the bus, that’s all
Now it’s back to anonymous
The wife and I
Feeding the birds
And loving comfortable clothes
The neighbors, they don’t wink like they know
Back when they’d say
“Savor this moment
It’s your time
Seize the day”
But I couldn’t stay awake
And I didn’t feel a thing
And she reminds me when I start to think
I might throw my hat back in the ring
But it’s time to be
