There's a bird on the telephone pole That I spot from the car in the lot where we all used to go We used to call home And it's staring me down While it's perched all alone Like it owns this whole town where we've grown I guess it's taken over Over all that you know I could be anyone you want me to be And for all that I know lately you could be a stranger to me Oh to me Oh if we had more time to stay up all night In the backyards and the basements we knew the most Oh maybe we would know who we'd become So tell me Who did you think i would be? There's a light that was left on In a room where you used to go when you were alone Where we used to call home And I'm watching it burn out Like the time we used up when we never cared at all To turn it off To turn it off And for all that I know that you could be a stranger to me Oh to me Oh if we had more time to stay up all night In the backyards and the basements we knew the most And oh maybe we would know who we'd become So tell me Oh tell me oh Who did you think I would be? And oh all that I would now The bird now The bird now If we had more time to stay up all night In the backyards and the basements we knew the most And oh maybe we would know who we'd become So tell me Who did you think I would be? Ohh tell me And for all that you know I could be anyone you want me to be
