Not The Boy Next Door lyrics

Coming 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 coming 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

Nothing ever seems like it used to be

You can have your dreams, but you can't have me

Oh, I can't come back there anymore

'Coz I am not the boy next door

You've been saving those souvenirs

Faded photographs from our foolish years

We made plans, but they're wearing thin

And they won't work out 'cause I don't fit in

And those memories will just weigh me down

'Coz I got no place to keep 'em uptown

I am not the boy next door

I don't belong like I did before

Nothing ever seems like it used to be

You can have your dreams, but you can't have me

Oh, I can't go back there anymore

'Coz I am not the boy next door

And I'm sorry for just being me

But if you'd look past the past you could see that

I am not

Nothing ever seems like it used to be

You can have your dreams, oh, but you can't have me

I can't go back there anymore

'Coz I am not (you are not)

I am not (you are not)

I am not the boy next door
