How to Be a Person Like Other People
[Verse 1]
Everything is real, and there ain't no crowd
Waiting to cheer when you go out
And all your powers, won't save the day
Your ringing ears, are here to stay
[Verse 2]
And I don't care how you made your mark
If I can't feel who you really are
The stakes are higher, but so is the prize
Hello and welcome to this your life
[Chorus]
And when you need me
I'll show you how to meet
I'll show you how to reach
I'll show you how to see
And when you need me
I'll show you how to feel
I'll show you how to be
A person like those other people
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And when you need me
I'll show you how to meet
I'll show you how to reach
I'll show you how to see
And when you need me
I'll show you how to feel
I'll show you how to be
A person like those other people
[Bridge]
I can see this storm bringing ghosts you might hang your hat on
If you're with me, pour the whiskey out and we'll wind the watches back
'Cause you'd see the light falling 'round you, if you played like Jimi
And you'd see the light falling 'round you, if you burned the whole thing down
So don't name the grief that binds up your mind
Cos they'll blaze outspoken people here, just for taking up their time
And if you see light shining down on the roads, where I won't go
Just know that love hangs around you, when you think you're halfway home
And there you'll find your life in pieces, like a puzzle that you own
And don't waste your time waiting for signs
