Understand

Could I have your attention for a while?
A storyteller's nothing but a liar.
I thought I'd learned a lot of tricks but you're an engine I can't fix.

I'll push this train as far as it might go.
I'll face this competition like a pro.
But if I crumbled to the ground the only one I'd want around.
Would happen to have your face and your smile.

Red light alarm.
In this ordinary life.
Crossed arms no harm.
Just a good piece of advice.
Inside my head.
The world's on the wrong side of my bed.

I could prove myself for the clown I am.
But I know you would always understand.
Where have you been for so long?
Where have you been for so long?

What should I expect from who I trust?
To not turn around when I'm covered with dust.
A shoulder to lay my head whether or not.
The world's on the wrong side of my bed.

I hope someday you'll understand
I'll never feel ashamed for what I am.
I know I'll never make you proud but I will never let you down.
I'll see you all the next time I'm around.
