I don't feel much older, same old shell shock
Same old fears all forgotten soldiers
They know the war ain't over, oh no, the war ain't over

I don't remember yesterday
Though chips on my shoulder
Keep my faith and trust at bay
And I don't even know her
Right now I just want to hold her
Oh yeah, I just want to hold her

'Cause if there's one thing I can't lose
After all I've been through, I'm telling you

The lights go down
And you know you can't fake it
Alone in the crowd
Are you standing there naked?

In the spotlight there's nowhere you can hide
A human wall and you just can't break it
Reading lips but you just can't say it
On display before those baited eyes

I try to make ground everyday
I get a little closer with no surrender flag to wave
Just a forgotten soldier
I know the war ain't over, oh no, the war ain't over

'Cause if there's one thing I can't lose
After all I've been through, I'm telling you

The lights go down
And you know you can't fake it
Alone in the crowd
And you're standing there naked

In the spotlight there's nowhere you can hide
A human wall and you just can't break it
Reading lips but you just can't say it
On display before those baited eyes

Yeah, it's one thing I can't lose
After all that I've been through
It's these suburban teenage blues
I'm telling you

The lights go down
And you know you can't fake it
Alone in the crowd
And you're standing there naked

In the spotlight there's nowhere you can hide
A human wall and you just can't break it
Reading lips but you just can't say it
On display before those baited eyes

It's stage fright suicide

I don't feel much older, same old shell shock
Same old fears all forgotten soldiers
