Everybody loves you— everybody needs you
Everybody wants you— everybody sees you

Aren‘t you lonely?

Everybody loves you— everybody needs you
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
(It‘s another man‘s heart, it‘s another man‘s dream
It‘s another man‘s life) (X2)

I try to believe— but you‘re making it really hard
I try to have a dream— but you‘re making it really hard

What do we do when we‘re overflowing?
Where do we go when it turns around?
What do we think when the world‘s burning?
What do we find when we‘re underground?
I don‘t pray— saving it up for a rainy day

I can’t pray— and it’s never really my journey that way
You had me feeling, I was special
Thinking I was special
You— had— me dancing on the mountaintops
You— had— me dancing by the riverside
Dancing in the valley— dancing on the tall buildings
You had me, dancing with the children
You had me

Everybody loves you, they do (X3)
Try to emulate you, that’s true
A bit of imitation, that‘s fine
Some re-evaluation— in time
Some re-evaluation— in time

Everybody loves you— everybody needs you

What do we do when we‘re overflowing?
Where do we go when we’re turned around?
What do we think when the world‘s burning?
What do we find when we‘re underground?

Taking it down to the big raw basics
Taking it down to the bottom line
Calling it out to whoever listens
Givin’ it up ‘cause it ain’t mine
I can‘t pray— saving it up for a rainy day

And I always imagined that I was in control
The signs always pointed to the things I used to know
And everything that made me feel that life was going fine
Was just a silly dream until the clock was out of time

It‘s a light that I refuse to see
I don‘t know what‘s come over me
But I do appreciate the fact
That you may not be coming back

It‘s another man‘s life that I choose to live
It‘s another man‘s world, I got nothing to give
It‘s another man‘s anthem, it‘s another man‘s song
It‘s another man‘s shadow that was way too long

It‘s another man‘s passion, it‘s another man‘s light
It‘s another man‘s blood and another man‘s fight
It‘s another man‘s dream that I can‘t accept
It‘s another delusion that I can‘t respect

It‘s another man‘s vision that I can‘t protect
It‘s another man‘s thoughts that I try to collect
Off the borrowed labors of another man‘s sweat
It‘s an inspiration I can never forget

I‘ll keep searching for a 1000 ways
To fill that cup that can never be filled
With a 1000 holes that can never be fixed
And a 1000 flaws in a 1000 places
And a 1000 bodies and a 1000 faces
And 1000 words that only fill up spaces
For a bright and fleeting moment
And the broken things stay broken

I want to believe— but you‘re making it really hard
I tried to have a dream— but you‘re making it really hard

Taking it down to the big raw basics
Taking it down to the bottom line
Calling it out to whoever listens
Givin‘ it up cause it ain’t mine
I can‘t pray— saving it up for a rainy day
I can‘t pray— I wouldn‘t even know which words to say
