Almost Famous

Today's the day I was supposed to be famous

I was gonna have come so far

My face splashed all over the papers

I was gonna be a big, big star



I should be on your TVs right now

Staring back at you with endless charm

You should be watching me and wondering how

I stay so grounded and calm



Through all the madness that I see

There's so much sadness with these dreams



You know those people you get sick of seeing?

Well, that was gonna be me

Overexposing until I end up being

A kind of monster in your dreams



I had been planning all my intimite moments

To be uncovered on the ET news

This is a business of failing upwards

So you can never really lose



Through all the madness that I see

There's so much sadness with these dreams



So now I'm standing with the faceless people

And they have stripped my sheen

There's just enough of me left to measure

How big I could have been



If there's a hell it will be all these people

With nothing special to behold

They never tell you that you might need someone

Might need a hand to hold



Through all the madness that I see

There's so much sadness with these dreams (x2)
