Intro: verse 1 I could be the voice the stereo will sell you, that no one really values singing on the ocean floor But I'm not And I could be the dirt that everybody walks on, and soak up all their thoughts on how to make it to the top But I'm not But I'm not Through every stage of understanding They try to tell me what I want And I can't say just who I am yet But I'm closer than I thought 'Cause I know who I'm not verse 2 I could be the breath that blows out someone's candle, Whispers underhanded, jealous wishes in the dark, But I'm not And I could be the critic, with judgment in my eyes Set on nothing but the prize; the kind that hides a broken heart, But I'm not But I'm not Through every stage of understanding They try to tell me what I want And I can't say just who I am yet But I'm closer than I thought 'Cause I know who I'm not Instrumental Ooooh oooh Oooh ooooh Ooooh oooh Oooh ooooh Ooooh oooh Oooh ooooh Ooooh oooh Oooh ooooh Bridge I could be the step, blind but still believing, I will find my freedom, they may say that I am lost But I'm not Outro end on
