Someone Else's Skin Lyrics & Chords By Aaron Tveit

FRANK JR.
There's no phone booth
There's no cape
There's no Steve McQueen
to help me make my great escape
How can I fly
like a hero in the sky?
Be a shooting star out in
the stratosphere
Where's "The Shadow"?
He might know
Where's that searchlight in the sky
to point the way to go?
Through some new cloud
to disappear into the crowd
Through the future's dark
there's one thing crystal clear
That there's no home here
So many voices telling me to choose
It's like a game where either team I lose
This kinda noise just makes me wanna shout
I'd like to buy a one-way ticket out
Rules of the road say don't look back
Eyes straight ahead, don't jump the track
Try a new game and pray that I can win
‘Cause I just don't feel at home in mine
So I'll slip now
Into someone else's skin
I see the maps from every book I've read
The worlds that I have lived inside my head
I thought a love like theirs could never die
If it can fade away then so can I
Yeah, first you see me, then you don't
Don't look for me
You know I won't even be there
So let the games begin
‘Cause I just don't feel at home in mine
So I'll slip now
Into someone else's skin
Run down the street
Run out of town
I'm gonna run from the home team
And never touch down
Run from the books
‘Cause it's all been a fake
I'm gonna run from the choices
that I don't wanna make
School's not out but I can't wait
It's the perfect time to graduate today
I'm gonna run away now
I've got to run away
I know they'll see the truth
When I move on
They'll need each other
Much more once I'm gone
And when I'm flush
and he's back on his feet
I'll pick him up and ride
down easy street
No time to cry for all the years
A rusty gas tank full of tears
gets you nowhere
Not the places I want in
And I just don't feel home in mine
So I'll slip now
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
