lyrics

I see the same thing every single day of my life
A rubber band game jumpin’ to the front of the line
I keep my thumb out in the rain and hope for a ride
When will my taxi drive on up and show me the sign?

-chorus-
You can’t see me but you
You can’t ignore me and you
You can’t be me
Still standing in line by myself
You can’t see me but you
You can’t ignore me and you
You can’t be me
Still standing in line by myself
You can’t see me but you
You can’t ignore me and you
You can’t be me
So I’m still alive by myself
You can’t see me but you
You can’t ignore me and you
You can’t be me
And I’m still alive by myself

Now on occasion somebody will feed me a line
An invitation straight on up with them at my side
But I get weary thinkin’ ‘bout us cheatin’ the line
I'd like to jump now
We both know this isn’t my sign, no

Ridin’ the ride all inside my only world
Is a place to confide what’s inside
My tiny noodle, yeah

A visitation like an unexpected surprise
A reservation for my place just outside the line
With hesitation I walk over out of the line
A liberation; finally I’m seeing the sign…

[chorus]
