So there i was
Standing on a cliffside
My eye wandering over a city full of lost people
Lost souls that never really connected with me
People you feel alone with
And i remember thinking well
If i’m not yours
What am i?
And it’s funny now
But it wasn’t then
Everything i did to please those people
To appease those people
A song and dance
A show that everybody knows
And everybody loves
And they applaud
Not because of who you are, or who i am
But because we are the same kind of people
Who believe the same kinds of things
And heaven forbid i’m something different
That there’s something at the very center of me
That tells me i might be something else
That i’m not supposed to be here
And if i’m not yours
What am i?
If i’m not yours
What am i?
Well if i’m not yours
Well
What am i?
What am i?
And there on that cliffside
As i learned to let myself live
A creature appeared from the valley
A multicolor vision
With wings like i didn’t have
With eyes, reflective and built to last
And i was scared then
But i took his hand all the same
And i could feel the earth shake beneath us
I could hear the voices of those lost souls
I could feel the eyes of god upon me
And i met his gaze
And asked
If i’m not yours
What am i?
If i’m not yours
What am i?
Well if i’m not yours
Well
What am i?
What am i?
Oh, is it here already?
Some sense of finality, so soon
Can you believe the way i used to love you
But it doesn’t matter now
As the ocean levels keep rising
And the audience keeps smiling
I’ll continue to dance
Until the end of time
God, i meant to be so much more to you
But look at me now
Thinking about what could have been
What could have happened
All those years ago
