Neighbor (Demo)

Verse 1 Meet my eyes, say my name I'm not a stranger, I'm just a neighbor Stories to tell, I didn't always sit on this stairwell Wasn't always a beggar, that's just how I met ya Ooh Seen a lot, been here so long the locals call this my spot, But it can't last forever, always say it'll be better Ooh I'm just like you, you're just like me, Listen' to the same ol' symphony Of cars passin' by and people trynna rush time We're both waiting for a response to a sign, Mine is written on cardboard, yours is written on a dime. Sit here with me a second and I'll show you a line, Loneliness is a poverty of kind You've got a lot, Yet still poor like me You might have money, Yet not free from poverty We need to be loved, and long to be known It's not in places, but in people we find home. I'm just like you, you're just like me, Listen' to the same ol' symphony Of cars passin' by and people trynna rush time We're both waiting for a response to a sign, Mine is written on cardboard, yours is written on a dime. Sit here with me a second and I'll show you a line, Loneliness is a poverty of kind Sit down here on the street with me, Watch as they pass, your eyes they won't meet. Is it shame, is it fear, pity or remorse, I don't smell good, I don't look great Might be a rough sleeper but I still have faith, And a longingness to be loved. I'm just like you, you're just like me, Listen' to the same ol' symphony Of cars passin' by and people trynna rush time We're both waiting for a response to a sign, Mine is written on cardboard, yours is written on a dime. Sit here with me a second and I'll show you a line, Loneliness is a poverty of kind Ooh, I'm not a stranger, Ooh, I'm just your neighbor.
