Someone Like Me

I look around 
is anyone like me
like a strange sound
you hear but can't see
is there anyone
who acts the same 
as I do?

I dream aloud
but wake in silence
I'd like to fit in 
but i don't have a licence
is there anyone
who acts like me

I have a dream
That I find a stream
where i can live and breathe
could you believe
someone like me

run around 
until you find yourself
a hurried sprint
and jump right
off the shelf
into the sea
where i find me

Play hard to get
someone you'd 
wish you'd met like 
hotel vacancy with a room to let

come inside my brain
and you'll see a view
maybe something old 
or maybe something new
