lyrics

Julie steps down the hall
casting her eyes towards the floor
moving past rows of her peers
hoping she makes it to the door
without someone staring or looking at her twice
what is it haunting her soul
will no one ever ask her
does no one really care
she's living in an artificial world

she wants to be one of them
she's changing her mind
no one has offered her
what she was looking to find

Bobby is the anti-Christ hero
making his scene at the fair
fearless he makes his impression
as he runs his long fingers though his hair
as he walks through the door
of his trailer in the woods
his father nearly knocks him to the floor
and he has none to talk to
he has none to care
he's fighting civil war here in his home

and he hates every one of them
fearing he'll find
pieces of all of them
leaving their mark on his mind

both of them are growing up
and finding they both have their place
changing maturing
and writing their name on the page
Julie writes a number one novel
Bobby's on tour with his band
and here I sit
with this pen in my hand
as I think of you being a fan
and I'm all alone
and I'm out of place
as I'm making this delicate change
I'm gonna be
the star on your wall
I'm gonna be yeah
I'm working I'm getting back up

Angel threw her coat on the bed
dancing for the lovers in her mind
looking through the words of her heroes
searching for someone with a sign
and she looks through her pictures
of Lennon and The Cure
boys and teen idols with long hair
and she cuts our their faces for places on her wall
one day maybe she will put me there

and then I can be one of them
helping her write
pages of memories
that are much better than mine
now we are one of them
helping her write
pages of memories
someone to turn on the light
someone to turn on the light
someone to turn on the light
