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

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
