Nobody Number One Lyrics - Over The Rhine

I'm afraid, I've lost the piece of me 

I need the most you see 

This puzzle is really just about the need 

To be somebody 

I'm afraid, I'm not all that you see 

All along the coast of me 

I'm camouflaged 

A desert mirage, a nobody 

But you came so close 

And I assumed you were looking 

For the piece of yourself that's lost 

It is the hiding place inside everybody 

And though we love to numb the pain 

We come to learn that it's in vain 

Pain is our mother 

She makes us recognize each other 

c'mon now, child, don't cry 

C'mon now, child, don't cry 

Let's give it one more try 

C'mon now, child, don't cry 

Sometimes, I feel so all alone here in this city 

I call my home 

They say, "Hey, you're one of us" 

Funny, I should feel so anonymous 

But I'm drawn to you 

And that still small voice is talking too 

And that's the voice that so seldom can get through 

c'mon now, child, don't cry 

C'mon now, child, don't cry 

Let's give it one more try 

C'mon now, child, don't cry 

You can't put no band aid on this cancer 

Like a twenty dollar bill for a topless dancer 

You need questions, forget about the answers 

Do you really wanna die this way? 

That's the trouble with you and me 

We always hit the bottom 

Before we get set free, I'm so far down 

I'm beginning to breathe 

c'mon now, child, don't cry 

C'mon now, child, don't cry 

Let's give it one more try 

C'mon now, child, don't cry 

'Cause we're just too young to die 

c'mon now, child, don't cry 

Let's give it one more try 

C'mon now, child, don't cry 

C'mon now, c'mon now 

c'mon now child don't cry 

C'mon now, child, c'mon now 

C'mon now, child, don't cry 

C'mon now, c'mon now, c'mon now 

c'mon now, c'mon, yeah 

C'mon, c'mon now, child, don't cry 

C'mon now, child, don't cry
