Coming home used to feel so good I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood I've seen the world at a faster pace And I'm coming now from a different place Though I may look the same way to you Underneath there is somebody new I am not the boy next door I don't belong like I did before Nothing ever seems like it used to be You can have your dreams,but you can't have me Oh,I can't come back there anymore 'Cause I am not the boy next door You've been saving those souvenirs Faded photographs from our foolish years We made plans,but they're wearing thin And they don't work out 'cause I don't fit in And those memories will just weigh you down 'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown I am not the boy next door I don't belong like I did before Nothing ever seems like it used to be You can have your dreams,but you can't have me Oh,I can't go back there anymore 'Cause I am not the boy next door Huh! I'm not sorry for just being me But if you look past the past,you can see That I'm not —————— (You are not the boy next door You don't belong ) Nothing ever seems like it used to be You can have your dreams Oh,but you can't have me I can't go back there anymore 'Cause I am not (You are not) I am not (You are not) I am not the boy next door
