A thousand words that no one’s spoken
Now there’s nothing left to say
Another dream just got broken
You suggest you’re not that way, yeah

I want you to love me
Want you to know I’m just like you
Just like you

Another dream just got broken
Another dreamer just like you
You

A thousand words just like you
A thousand words just like you
A thousand words just like you

I feel so important today and I wish I didn’t
I feel so important today and I wish I didn’t


Was I a little off key?

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can’t turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you’d lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away

And now we’re grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don’t belong to no one
That’s a shame
But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won’t tell no one your name

And I won’t tell em your name

Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don’t it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

You grew up way too fast
And now there’s nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won’t tell no one your name
And I won’t tell em your name

I think about you all the time
But I don’t need the same
It’s lonely where you are come back down
And I won’t tell em your name

Yeah I’m fadin’
And I call out
No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I’d say a word


Weighed down
Safe now

You’re naked inside your fear
You can’t take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone


Yeah I’m hiding
in the fallout
Now I’m wasted
They don’t need me, don’t want me, don’t hear a word I say


Weighed down
Safe now

You’re naked inside your fear
You can’t take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone


Inside your head
No one’s there
And I don’t think I’ll ever be
And I don’t care


You’re naked inside your fear
You can’t take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
By anyone
By anyone

Look around outside
Ain’t nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that I’ve done
I guess I ain’t nothin’ but a clown


If I had a wish, I swear I’d wish, I’d wish for just one thing
And I don’t even like to think about all the things my wish’d bring


‘Cause I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day


I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me I’m such a jerk

And I just wanna be James Dean
For a day


Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
Sittin’ here watchin’ the old men drinkin’ at the bar
I think about Dean and all the things he should’ve tried
I think about Dean and all the ways he could’ve died
Yeah died?


And I wouldn’t give a shit about anything ’cause I’d be such a big movie star
And that don’t really do me much good just cryin’ at the bar


But I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day


See but I’m overworked and undersexed and look at me I’m such a wreck

And I just wanna be James Dean
For a day


Going crazy ’cause I’m always all alone
Going crazy no one calls me on the phone
I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn’t care
If I was Dean I know there’d be somebody there
Yeah there’d be somebody there
For me?


Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
Then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay


No, I don’t wanna be James Dean
I don’t wanna be James Dean
I don’t wanna be James Dean
Anymore ?
Hmmm?

If I leave today, don’t know where to go that I can stay
I know what I need, but I won’t follow, I can’t lead

And when I stood there and I felt November chill
You crushed my heart, and I really lost my will
You think you understand the way it made me feel
I started to choke on you, cause I know what you fear

Cause I’ve had enough, and I don’t really need it
Had enough, and I don’t really feel it
Had enough, but you really can’t see it
But you’ll see it for the first time in your life

If you had a brain, you’d be smart enough to change
Watch yourself, the thoughts of you plague no one else

And I stood there and I felt November chill
You broke my heart, and I really lost my will
You try to understand the way you make me feel
I started to choke on you, cause I know what you fear

Cause I’ve had enough, and I don’t really need it
Had enough, and I don’t really feel it
Had enough, but you really can’t see it
But you’ll see it for the first time in your life

Cause I’ve had enough, and I don’t really need it
Had enough, and I don’t really feel it
Had enough, but you really can’t see it
But you’ll see it for the first time in your life

Cause I’ve had enough, and I don’t really need it
Had enough, and I don’t really feel it
Had enough, but you really can’t see it
But you’ll see it for the first time in your life
