Back to Anonymous

[Verse 1]
These days
It doesn't matter, I can let myself go
No disguise, just go for a stroll
It's back to anonymous
But those years were
One big blur
I'm not sure where I have been
I dream the pieces back now and then
Mmm-hmm

[Chorus]
Is it cliche?
Does it sound so ungrateful
When it comes out that way?
If so, I only mean to say
Thank you for those crazy days
But it's back to anonymous

[Verse 2]
Strangers
Creepy and comfortable that they knew my name
It's not at all what I thought that fame would be
It was just a small world
For a while
Is life better now?
Well, that depends on how I'm feeling about it
It's not so much that I wanted out
I really didn't have a say

[Chorus]
But it's a big world
With un-famous people who deserve
The grand applause
And they quietly carry on
I'd like to think that I could be that strong
Daydreaming on the bus, that's all
Now it's back to anonymous

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
The wife and I
Feeding the birds, in love
In comfortable clothes
The neighbors, they don't wink like they know

[Chorus]
But back when they'd say
Savor this moment
It's your time
Seize the day
But I couldn't stay awake
And I didn't feel a thing
And she reminds me when I start to think
I might throw my hat back in the ring
But it's time to be…
