City lights shine down upon the place that I call home
Surrounded by a million but I feel like I’m alone
And I might be a nobody to you
But if I’m playing, would you listen?
If you would get to know me
Maybe you would love me
I’m so ordinary

Dragging ‘round an old guitar that I can’t even play
I fade into your background like a piece of yesterday
I might be a nobody to you
But somewhere they’re gonna listen

If you would get to know me
Maybe you would love me
I’m so ordinary
And if you would let me know you
Maybe I would show you
Wouldn’t we be something?

Sad the way we always seem to pass by one another
Hiding, so afraid of the things we might discover
Caught up in a moment that only you can live in
You never know who’s giving the air that you might breathe in

Chorus

City lights shine down upon the place that I call home
Surrounded by a million but I feel like I’m alone
And I might be a nobody to you
But somewhere, they’re gonna listen
