Back to Anonymous

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, mmm

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

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

But it’s a big world

With un-famous people who deserve

The grand applause

And they quietly carry on

Like to think that I could be that strong

Daydreaming on the bus, that’s all

Now it’s back to anonymous

The wife and I

Feeding the birds, in love

In comfortable clothes

The neighbors, they don’t wink like they know

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
