He was roasted from the inside out
His heart was in a drought And the locals couldn’t help but see
He’s not like you and me But they knew to leave him be
There’s plenty more like him you see
Who moved away down by the sea
Underneath they’re just like you and me Just like you and me…
He lived in town in days before
In times when he did want for more
Until that fire tore through his soul
And turned his heart to coal
The fire was lit by a confused dame
She didn’t mean to spark that flame
Just not the place she wants to be
Underneath she’s just like you and me
Just like you and me…
So he packed his things, that burned out man
He didn’t even have a plan
Just headed up the coastal road
To a place he didn’t know
To a place where he could be
Free from all the things he’d seen
Where by himself, he could be
Underneath he’s just like you and me
Just like you and me…
So when you see that burned out man
With burned out heart and flames for hands
Don’t be put off by the scars he bears
Because he really cares
About everyone, and everything
But some silly girl took away that thing
The thing that’s there to help us see
That underneath he’s just like you and me
Just like you and me….
