Chameleon

I don’t know what to say when you look at me this way
Like you’ve stepped into the wrong room
Like you just remembered forgetting something

Try to understand that I used to put my head in the sand
Always feeling like an actor
Always living life in character

Oh, I, I’m a chameleon
No one can see me
No one has seen me out of place
In different company
I slither round
Keeping impressions on my face

Is it all that strange that I never really feel the same?
Every day is not a circle
Everyone is up and down and somewhere else

So won’t you hold my hand as we jump out of this plane?
See the earth so far below us
See our faces made of putty. That’s all they are

Once there was a time we slept out in the garden growing up
We were so small and the trees grew up forever
Only when they die do they stop from growing
Oh, baby, you and I we’re gonna keep on growing

Oh, I, I’m a chameleon
No one can see me
No one has seen me out of place
In different company
I slither round
Keeping impressions on my face
