Not The Boy Next Door

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' those souvenirs

Faded photographs from our foolish years

We made plans, but they're wearin' thin

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

And those memories would 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

'Cause 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 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

(I can't go back anymore)

'Cause I am not the boy next door

Oh, 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

'Cause 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, never anymore

'Cause I am not, I'm not the boy next door

Nothin' ever seems like it used to be

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

Oh, I'm not the boy, 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
