Just Like Me

I wish I knew you when you were younger
Seems that those were better days
Now you spend the hours lookin' over your shoulder
Are you lost or just afraid?
Why are you runnin' away?

You are livin' in a cloud of confusion
You are just livin' in the past
Look to the future and hold on tight
Cause for all the days you've pained
You've nothin' lost and nothin gained

It's been a while drivin' miles
And crackin' smiles until it hurts me
Butt-crack o' dawn I'm lookin' long
Into the sky that lies before me
You see? Well,
I've been a child. Been a man
I've been hungry, even thirsty
Now can you see?
Can you see?
You pretend to be free
Just like me

Well, you and I have been up and down this mountain
We both could blindly lead the way
Down the wrong path where no one follows
You should find another way
Cause I've got nothin' left to say
