Mr. Nobody

She came back on the Brooklyn breeze
Blowin' through the willow trees
Selling her wares off of balconies
But I am still Mr. Nobody
He came through town on the crest of a wave
Crocodile boots, he’s feeling brave
Hometown hero’s got the streets to pave
But he still fears the day
All my life I’ve been singing these words
Trying to make a dime
Fill up the tank with gasoline
Drive until I loose my tires
All caught up with everything else
This time I’ll just be me
But I don’t feel sad
Being Mr. Nobody
Well I’m holding on to the very last rung
From the tip of my toes to the tip of my tongue
All the letters felt overdone
But I’m still waiting to feel the sun
So I’m making amends from where I sit
Kicking old habits, making‘ em stick
From the rocking chair to the casket
I’ll be strumming along till I’m a silhouette
All my life I’ve been singing these words
Trying to make a dime
Fill up the tank with gasoline
Drive until I lose my tires
All caught up with everything else
This time I’ll just be me
But I don’t feel sad
Being Mr. Nobody
All my life I’ve been singing these words
Trying to make a dime
Fill up the tank with gasoline
Drive until I lose my tires
All caught up with everything else
This time I’ll just be me
But I don’t feel sad
Being Mr. Nobody
She came back on the Brooklyn breeze
Blowin' through the willow trees
Selling her wares off of balconies
Oh I am still Mr. Nobody
Oh I am still Mr. Nobody
