Everybody Knows

[Verse 1]
Tell me now, if you came sneakin' up behind
Would you know me and see behind the smile?
I can change like colors on a wall
Hopin' no one else will find what lies beneath it all
I think I hide it all so well

[Chorus]
Steppin' out, everyone can see my face
All the things I can't erase from my life everybody knows
Standin' out so you won't forget my name
That's the way we play this game of life
Everybody knows

[Verse 2]
Lookin' through the crowd, I search for someone else
But every time I turn around, I run into myself
Here I stand, consumed by my surroundings
Just another day of everybody looking
I swore they'd never see me cry
Never see me cry

[Chorus]
Steppin' out, everyone can see my face
All the things I can't erase from my life everybody knows
Standin' out so you won't forget my name
That's the way we play this game of life
Everybody knows

[Bridge]
You say I'll pay a price
That's a chance that I'll take
Though you may think I'm tellin' lies
I just call it "getting by"

[Chorus]
Steppin' out, everyone can see my face
All the things I can't erase from my life everybody knows
Standin' out so you won't forget my name
That's the way we play this game of life
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

[Outro]
(Everybody knows) Everybody knows
(I'm just barely getting by)
Everybody knows
(Everybody knows)
Everybody knows
(I'm just barely getting by)
Everybody knows
I'm just barely getting by
Everybody knows
I'm just barely getting by
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
