And by the light of the desk lamp
I sat alone with my paper and crayons
Trying to draw the things i saw in my head
And by the sound of the crickets
Through windows of darkness
I tried to fit the moon in my mouth
In my mouth...

Sometimes when i'm alone
And out of view of my own
I pretend i'm someone else
Taking a look at myself
And i wonder what i'll think then
And i hope i'll be ok
And i finally reach the day

When everybody sings my song
When everybody sings my song
When i show you my soul

By the skin of my teeth
I got a break around seventeen
And suddenly everyones acting so differently to me
And by the bus i call my home
I've seen more miles then i'll ever know
Trying to be some kind of rock and roll hero
Rock and roll hero...
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/carolines+spine/rock+roll+hero_20516664.html ]
Sometimes when i'm alone
And out of view of my own
I pretend i'm someone else
Taking a look at myself
And i know i'm still thinking
And i know i feel ok
Now that i've reached the day

And everybody's singing my song
And everybody's singing my song
And i show you my soul

And by the clock i live
Thought i had so much more to give
It all came to an end somehow
But i made it the best i can
Even became a family man
With nothing but gold records on my wall
On my wall
They're on my wall...

Sometimes when i'm alone
And out of view of my own
I pretend i'm someone else
Take a look back at myself
And i wonder what i was thinking
And i although it turned out
I will always miss the day

When everybody sang my song
When everybody sang my song
When i showed you my soul
