Sally played guitar
Down in all the local bars
She dreamed of making it big
But Sally never got that far
Sally writes songs that nobody hears
But somehow that’s ok
All you gotta know so far is
Sally played the guitar

Jimmy got good grades
Now he works nights and Saturdays
He always followed [bad word] But it turns out that doesn’t pay
Jimmy doesn’t know what he’s gonna do
But he knows he can’t go on this way
And though they may not carry weight
Jimmy got good grades

Will you try to remember or forget?
What if living just hasn’t happened yet?
You can wait til forever for a sign
But what if living is just a state of mind?
Well I don’t wanna be left behind

In the limelight
Sally takes the stage and
She lets the whole world know
She fights her own fights
She’s not the kind of girl that’s
Afraid to be alone
Cuz Sally when she plays, she plays
And no one else is on the stage

Jimmy hides out
At the top of the stairs
In his room at night
He has adventures
When there’s nobody there
He reads by candlelight
And when the sun begins to rise
Jimmy blinks [bad word] his eyes

Will you try to remember or forget?
What if living just hasn’t happened yet?
You can wait til forever for a sign
But what if living is just a state of mind?
Well I don’t wanna be left behind

Sally leads the way
Sally saves the day
Sally goes down swinging

Jimmy plans and schemes
Jimmy hopes and dreams
Jimmy looks before leaping

Sally and Jimmy don’t know
But one day they’re gonna make each other whole

They’re always learning the hard way
Build it, break it, then
Burn it down and start again
But they’re gonna learn some day I bet...

Will you try to remember or forget?
What if living just hasn’t happened yet?
You can wait til forever for a sign
But what if living is just a state of mind?

Will I try to remember or forget?
What if living just hasn’t happened yet?
I could wait til forever for a sign
But it turns out living is just a state of mind
And I don’t wanna be left
I’m not gonna be left...

Jimmy and Sally will find their finale
As people and pieces of my personality
No one, no one, is gonna be left behind
