The Boy from Oz movie - Not the Boy Next Door lyrics

rate me

Song by Hugh Jackman<br /><br>

Comin' home used to feel(my way is still) so good<br>

I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood<br>

I've seen the world at a faster pace<br>

And I'm comin' now from a diff'rent place<br>

<br>

Though I may look the same way to you<br>

Underneath there is somebody new<br>

<br>

I am not the boy next door<br>

I don't belong like I did before<br>

Nothin' ever seems like it used to be<br>

You can have your dreams, but you can't have me<br>

<br>

I can't go back there anymore<br>

'Cause I am not the boy next door<br>

<br>

You've been savin' (all) those souvenirs, <br>

Faded photographs from my(our) foolish years<br>

We made plans, but they're wearin' thin<br>

And they won't work out 'cause I don't(won't) fit in<br>

<br>

And those mem'ries will just weigh me down<br>

'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown<br>

<br>

I am not the boy next door<br>

I don't belong like I did before<br>

Nothin' ever seems like it used to be<br>

You can have your dreams, but you can't have me<br>

<br>

I can't go back there anymore<br>

'Cause I am not the boy next door<br>

<br>

And I'm sorry for just bein' me<br>

But if you'd look past the past you could see<br>

That<br>

<br>
