[Intro]
There's a place for everything
We never had everything in place
But I don't wanna take my life over the rain

[Verse 1]
But you know if I love white roses and all the red roses
What does the color matter if they're just dead roses?
What does it take to see 'em both the same?
Yeah, well, the rain may fall and hide my tears
The way we lose sight of the years
But I still know you're there
Yeah, I still feel you there
And though I smile- I lie awake
And think about all my mistakes
And I know who I am
You ain't gotta tell me who I am

[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you know that objects in the mirror
May be more depressed than they appear?
If it helps to hold the truth, then lie to me, yeah

[Chorus]
Ooh, but if I'm not the chosen one
Then please don't tell my loaded gun
Tell 'em all of the king I tried to be the King of Nowhere
The King of Nowhere, oh
[Verse 2]
Up against the wind, I feel the fear, yeah
Standing on the edge, the end is near
Ooh, the waves keep splashing off the rocks
You watched as I left from the dock
And dropped a single tear, just wishin' I was here
And I guess I must've caught your eye
The moment I just walked on by
And you saw that I was down
But you still saw my crown

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you know objects in the mirror
May be more depressed than they appear?
If it helps to hold the truth, then lie to me, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, but if I'm not the chosen one
Then please don't tell my loaded gun
Tell 'em all of the king I tried to be the King of Nowhere
Yeah, the King of Nowhere, oh
