Standing on a stage
Struggling to get his instrument in tune
People throwing vegetables and calling him a fraud
As they fall out of the room
He awakes at night with the fear
That this all might just disappear
But it scares him just the same
To think that his could all remain
Understanding why
We do what we do
Why we put ourselves
What we put ourselves through
When there's no longer comfort
In your comfort zone
And you feel
Like you're all alone
Self absorption never ending
Still the truth it keeps on bending
Feel like I'm pretending
To be something that I'm not
I gotta smooth it like Al Greene
Get funky like J.B.
Then stand up on my own two feet
And learn how to be me
I'm contradicting myself
I'm stealing from the past
I'm trying to slow it down
Because it feels like it's too fast
And I'm awaking with the fear
That this all might disappear
But it scares me just the same
To think that this could all remain
Understanding why
We do what we do
Why we put ourselves
What we put ourselves through
When there's no longer comfort
In your comfort zone
And you feel
Like you're all alone
Like you're all alone
All alone
All alone
Understanding why
We do what we do
Why we put ourselves
What we put ourselves through
When there's no longer comfort
In your comfort zone
And you feel
Like you're all alone
Well you're not alone
Not alone
No you're not alone anymore
Anymore
