Comin' home used to feel so good I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood I've seen the world at a faster pace And I'm comin' now from a different place Though I may look the same way to you Underneath there is somebody new I am not the boy next door I don't belong like I did before Nothin' ever seems like it used to be You can have your dreams, but you can't have me I can't go back there anymore 'Cause I am not the boy next door You've been savin' all souvenirs Faded photographs from my foolish years We made plans, but they're wearin' thin And they won't work out 'cause I don't fit in And those memories will just weigh me down 'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown I am not the boy next door I don't belong like I did before Nothin' ever seems like it used to be You can have your dreams, but you can't have me I can't go back there anymore 'Cause I am not the boy next door And I'm sorry for just bein' me But if you'd look past the past you could see That I am not the boy next door I don't belong like I did before Nothin' ever seems like it used to be You can have your dreams, but you can't have me I can't go back there anymore 'Cause I am not, I am not, I am not the boy next door
