"Lost And Found" lyrics

I always wanted to be someone else
It always seemed to me the way to be
A name in my life seemed to be less
I've changed it so many times, I forget

But the man at the Century Cafe says
Stop fooling yourself like I once did
I was a star once, yes indeed
But I forgot just who I was
People asking for too much
'Til I couldn't tell for sure

Said there's a man sleeping it off in the alleyway
Sleeping 'neath the air duct on a ten-below winter's day
Makes her stomach turn and she runs away
Calls up a homeless man and hasn't run off

What she don't understand is he was once in your shoes
Thinking like no one does, how you never lose
Slowly slipping, inching towards the booth
He's just another man you've seen
No different from you and me
Just misplaced a dream or two
Oh, oh

Not everyone was born with a golden crutch
So if you don't give a helping hand, do me this much
Don't laugh or scorn to being with your friends
'Cause you might just be lying there in the end
This is what the old man said
Day before he met the dead
Lost and found and lost again

Oh, he was lost and found and lost again
Yeah, he was lost and found and lost again
Oh, he was lost and found and lost again
Mhm, he was lost and found and lost again
