[bad word]  home used to feel so good 
I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood 
I've seen the world at a faster pace 
And [bad word]  now from a diff'rent place 

Though I may look the same way to you 
Underneath there is somebody new 

I am not the boy next door 
I don't belong like I did before 
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be 
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me 

Oh, I [bad word] back there anymore 
'Cause I am not the boy next door 

You've been savin' those souvenirs, 
Faded photographs from our foolish years 
We made plans, but they're wearin' thin 
And they don't work out 'cause I don't fit in 

And those mem'ries will just weigh me down 
'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown 

I am not the boy next door 
I don't belong like I did before 
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be 
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me 

Oh, I can't go back there anymore 
'Cause I am not the boy next door 

I'm sorry for just bein' me 
But if you'd look past the past you could see 
That I am not 

Nothin' ever seems like it used to be 
You can have your dreams, oh, but you can't have me 
I can't go back there anymore 
'Cause I am not (You are not) 
I am not (You are not) 
I am not the boy next door
