Lyrics
I see a pretty girl walking down the street Wearing a mini skirt and bright white teeth
She smiles at me and I smile right back,
Knowing this would throw my world off track
Chorus
But I’m just a man
With a simple plan
Living the dream
With a full home team
Running on overdrive
Yeah, I’m just a man
Who now only understands
That what I think and do
Just get me through
No matter what’s on the otherside
I’ve suffered all my life you know
Cause I relied on my trauma to run the show
I looked at it and realized
That the life I was living was based on a lie
Chorus
Now is all that matters now
Remembering stuff is just reliving somehow
But I decided on a different path
To be in the dream where I already have
Bridge
Take a minute to see yourself
As who you were yesterday
And think of who it is you want to be. ee.e
Now take a deep long breath
And give away everything that’s gone Then you’ll start to live in the moment with me.ee.e
Cause all it takes is to believe
Your life is better starting today
Then enjoy the flow of what is meant to be.ee.e
I am the man walking down the street
Living life and following my heartbeat
I smile in the mirror as I walk by
I am glad to be with this cool guy
Chorus
She smiles at me and I smile right back,
Knowing this would throw my world off track
Chorus
But I’m just a man
With a simple plan
Living the dream
With a full home team
Running on overdrive
Yeah, I’m just a man
Who now only understands
That what I think and do
Just get me through
No matter what’s on the otherside
I’ve suffered all my life you know
Cause I relied on my trauma to run the show
I looked at it and realized
That the life I was living was based on a lie
Chorus
Now is all that matters now
Remembering stuff is just reliving somehow
But I decided on a different path
To be in the dream where I already have
Bridge
Take a minute to see yourself
As who you were yesterday
And think of who it is you want to be. ee.e
Now take a deep long breath
And give away everything that’s gone Then you’ll start to live in the moment with me.ee.e
Cause all it takes is to believe
Your life is better starting today
Then enjoy the flow of what is meant to be.ee.e
I am the man walking down the street
Living life and following my heartbeat
I smile in the mirror as I walk by
I am glad to be with this cool guy
Chorus
