When There's No One Around

"When There's No One Around" ~ T. O'Brien/D. Scott

From the album "Sevens" by Garth Brooks

This is a song that nobody knows

I couldn't begin to describe how it goes

But it makes me cry or laugh right outloud

It's a song that I sing when there's no one around

This is the man that nobody sees

He wears my old clothes and he looks just like me

Just one of the boys who gets lost in the crowd

He's the man that I am when there's no one around

It's four in the morning

I'm lying in bed

A tape of my failures playing inside my head

It's heartaches and hardknocks and things I don't know

I listen and wonder

Where will it go?

This is a glimpse of the child that's within

He's so immature but he's still my best friend

If he could learn how to fly he'd never touch down

He's the kid that I am when there's no one around

This is the dance that I do everyday

I let my feet go and get carried away

I let my soul lead and follow the sound

It's the dance that I do when there's no one around

It's still four in the morning

I'm lying in bed

A tape of my failures playing inside my head

It's heartaches and hardknocks and things I don't know

I listen and I wonder

Where will it go?

This is a song that nobody knows

I still can't begin to describe how it goes

But it makes me cry or laugh right outloud

It's the song that I sing when there's no one around
