John Doe Lyrics by EarlyRise

Colors

2015

[Verse 1]
Laying in the rain, again
Saving every word I can
You don't know what it is you're doing wrong
You don't understand

[Chorus]
I'll pass you by everyday
You hold up your hand and you smile at me
Begging for change
I'll pass you by everyday
You hold up your hand and you smile at me
Begging for change

[Verse 2]
You take every chance you get
To tell whoever is willing to listen
That you are a better man
Better than they think you are
They don't understand

[Chorus]
I'll pass you by everyday
You hold up your hand and you smile at me
Begging for change
I'll pass you by everyday
You hold up your hand and you smile at me
Begging for change

[Bridge]
You cry to people who don't even know your name, know your name
Desperately longing for someone to really care, really care

Who you are?
Who you are?
Who you are?
Who you are?

[Chorus]
I'll pass you by everyday
You hold up your hand and you smile at me
Begging for change
I'll pass you by everyday
You hold up your hand and you smile at me
Begging for change
