lyrics

Try to walk through the door but I can't go past
Try to see my reflection but it’s only painted glass
And you know this feelin, getting kinda queer
I know I was born, but am I really here,
Am I really here

Now there’s a stranger walkin in my shoes
Foolin everybody, foolin even you
And you know this feelin getting kinda queer
I know I was born, but am I really here,
Am I really here

I want something dumb, that I can understand
Let me be a dog in the sun rolling in the sand

Now there’s a stranger talking to my wife
And you know the feelin cuts just like a knife
I wanna know will I ever feel alright dear?
I know I was born but am I really here
Am I really here
