[Verse 1]
So where did all the laughter go?
What happened to the boy I used to know?
Waiting on the afterglow
I’m praying for the light to guide you home
But he said it

[Chorus]
That nobody sees it
By the wayside, down like a housefly with nowhere to go
I’ll be dead by tomorrow you know
And if nobody sees it
By the wayside, down like a housefly with nowhere to go
Yeah, that’s not the boy that I know

[Verse 2]
Endeavor to the after-show
But never gave her chance to say hello
Always seem to long for love
You’re shining like a diamond in the rough
But he said it

[Chorus]
That nobody sees it
By the wayside, down like a housefly with nowhere to go
I’ll be dead by tomorrow you know
And if nobody sees it
By the wayside, down like a housefly with nowhere to go
Yeah, that’s not the boy that I know

[Bridge]
Now don’t you give up growing old
You’re bringing this all a little close to home
Don’t you give up growing old
You’re bringing this all a little close to home
You know you gotta let me in
You know you gotta let me in
You know you gotta let me in
You know you gotta let me in

[Chorus]
Nobody sees it
By the wayside down like a housefly with nowhere to go
I’ll be dead by tomorrow you know
And if nobody sees it
By the wayside down like a housefly with nowhere to go
That’s not the boy that I know
(That’s not the boy that I know, that’s not the boy that I know)
