See Me Now

Do you know about the life I used to live?

Had a nice spot downtown, held my money like a sieve

Summers with the soft top down

And that was back when the chills still rolled in

But ever since, it's only getting hotter all the time

My neighbors had their problems, they were nothing compared to mine

On my own, I got my money

On my own, I got my name

But since the bottom fell out, there was no one

No one there to blame

Oh, can you see me now?

Please just treat me like before

Just treat me like before

Oh, can you see me now

Or did we lose it all when the bottom fell out?

Must be nice to have so far to fall

But while you were watching TV, I was writing on the wall

Rent raised on me year after year

And that was back when the chills still rolled in

But ever since, my belt's been getting tighter all the time

My family had their problems, oh, all of theirs were mine

I was working for our money

I was working for our name

But since the bottom fell out, I'm still working

Working every day

Oh, can you see me now?

Please just treat me like before

Just treat me like before

Oh, can you see me now

Or did we lose it all when the bottom fell out?

And how about those of us who don't know what it used to be like?

I've been hearing about before times for my entire life

I'm not worried about the money

I'm not worried about the game

But since the bottom fell out, I'm just worried

Worried just the same

Oh, can you see me now?

Oh, can you see me now?
