Intro:
A Visitor
Visitor
Verse 1:
Give me a map to myself
I can’t ask for directions here no
There’s no one that can help
When I’m lost they say, don’t you live here
Shouldn’t you know, know, know
Shouldn’t you know, know, know
Shouldn’t I know
Chorus:
But I’m just a visitor in my own body
I’m a pedestrian, walking down the middle of the street
I’m just a tourist in my own home surrounded by what should feel familiar
Yet all I know for sure
Is I’ll only be just a visitor
A visitor
Verse 2:
Give me the key to happiness, I’ve asked around no one has seemed to find it
They say, that I threw the key away into the leaves
And down I go, just like all the keys I’ve thrown

Chorus:
But I’m just a visitor in my own body
I’m a pedestrian, walking down the middle of the street
I’m just a tourist in my own home surrounded by what should feel familiar
Yet all I know for sure
Is I’ll only be just a visitor
Oh, a visitor
A visitor

I finally understand
I know what I am
I know what I am
Chorus:
But I’m just a visitor in my own body
I’m a pedestrian, walking down the middle of the street
I’m just a tourist in my own home surrounded by what should feel familiar
Yet all I know for sure
Is I’ll only be just a visitor
Oh, a visitor
A visitor
