Just Like Me Lyrics
That wants a reason every time you turn around
Just like me, he's looking for a door standing open,
Saying welcome, come and lay your troubles down
Just like me
You'll see through the stone to the heart of the man.
But the moment he senses
You've seen him he'll leave you as fast as he can.
He'll return to his shadows
Where no one can look in and see,
And he'll wake in the night
And he’ll cry like a child just like me.
That wants a reason every time you turn around
Just like me, he's looking for a door standing open,
Saying welcome, come and lay your troubles down
Just like me
For someone to tell him you're doing just fine.
The songs that he’s sung me
Have loneliness woven between every line.
With no strings to hold him
I guess he could call himself free:
Yes, he's free to be emply and lonely and wrong, just like me.
And lost just like me
That wants a reason every time you turn around
Just like me, he's looking for a door standing open,
Saying welcome, come and lay your troubles down
Just like me
i want this :(
Those aren't the lyrics to this song. Below are the full lyrics from Joni's website, though the only seemingly available version on the Second Frets CD set starts at the second part about settling a score:
He's so independent, He acts like he couldn't care less for us all He's someone's descendent, their child But he'll never acknowledge their call He's afraid to feel loved, And I know he's afraid not to be And he'll laugh and he'll cry, And someday he'll die, Just like me
Just like me, he's settling a score with the world That wants a reason every time you turn around Just like me, he's looking for a door standing open, Saying welcome, come and lay your troubles down Just like me
He'll drop his pretenses You'll see through the stone to the heart of the man. But the moment he senses You've seen him he'll leave you as fast as he can. He'll return to his shadows Where no one can look in and see, And he'll wake in the night And he’ll cry like a child just like me.
Just like me, he's settling a score with the world That wants a reason every time you turn around Just like me, he's looking for a door standing open, Saying welcome, come and lay your troubles down Just like me
I’ve seen him look hungry For someone to tell him you're doing just fine. The songs that he’s sung me Have loneliness woven between every line. With no strings to hold him I guess he could call himself free: Yes, he's free to be emply and lonely And lost just like me
Just like me, he's settling a score with the world That wants a reason every time you turn around Just like me, he's looking for a door standing open, Saying welcome, come and lay your troubles down Just like me
