so i promise to grab my soul
and leave my ego at the door
I'm gonna open up my eyes
so, cmon sing along if ya wanna
cry if ya hafta
lean back into your lover's arms
grab the hand of the person
standing right next to you
show them we are not afraid of who we are
nobody is afraid of who we are here

Yeah, see I have 4 bags, 2 guitars, my friend Jen
who helps me remember that its the fans who got me where I am
so if I close out a show and I m still 40 dollars in the hole
ya know, I just put the room on plastic
and sleep another night on an unfamiliar mattress
and wonder where you are.
I wonder where you are

so im gonna grab my soul
and leave my ego at the door
I'm gonna open up my eyes
so, cmon sing along if ya wanna
cry if ya hafta
