There's a man I've seen in polaroids he's me in my own past
Lost and wild and unaware how things can change so fast
When a love like yours comes rescuing you find out who your not
And I'm not him and he's not me he don't have what I got
So just to keep myself in line I say out loud from time to time
Girl I'd miss that rose tattoo
holding you close lying next to you
I'd hate to think who would I be if you weren't loving me
He's one sad and lonely fool that's all he is without you
I've been him and never again cause he's not me
He's walking through my yesterdays with heavy anger in his heart
And that's right where he belongs
because he and I are worlds apart
A wise man never stands alone and now I know if you were gone
Chorus
Bridge
So just to keep myself in line
I say out loud from time to time
Chorus
