Not the Boy Next Door Songtext
von Hugh Jackman

Comin′ home used to feel so good
I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood
I′ve seen the world at a faster pace
And I'm comin' now from a different place

Though I may look the same way to you
Underneath there is somebody new

I am not the boy next door
I don′t belong like I did before
Nothin′ ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me

I can′t go back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door

You′ve been savin' all souvenirs
Faded photographs from my foolish years
We made plans, but they′re wearin' thin
And they won't work out ′cause I don′t fit in


And those memories will just weigh me down
'Cause I got no place to keep ′em uptown

I am not the boy next door
I don't belong like I did before
Nothin′ ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me

I can′t go back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door

And I'm sorry for just bein′ me
But if you′d look past the past you could see
That

I am not the boy next door
I don't belong like I did before
Nothin′ ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me

I can′t go back there anymore
'Cause I am not, I am not, I am not the boy next door.
