Songtext von Everybody Knows

Tell me now If you came sneaking-up behind Would you know me and see-behind the smile? I can change, like colors on a wall Hoping no-one else will find what lies beneath it all I think I hide it all so well Stepping-out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing-out, so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows Looking through the crowd, I search for something else But every time I turn around, I run into myself Here I stand, consumed with my surroundings Just another day of everybody looking I swore they'd never see me cry You'll never see me cry Stepping-out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing-out, so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows You say I'll pay the price That's the chance that I'll take Though you may think I'm telling lies But I just call it getting-by Stepping-out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing-out, so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows I am just barely getting-by
