"I was there somewhere"
I can't help but to cry
But the people in those photographs
Are dreams I held which had to die
They don't remember, and life moves on
But I can still hear them laugh,
Hear the fading notes of another song
In the smiles within those videos
I was there somewhere
And I can't find it in me to regret
Though I wish I'd stayed for one more set
I just wanted to be someone they wouldn't forget
When I walked out of SoCal the same way I came
In exhaust fumes and a cloud of shame.

Now all that's left are these photos and music videos
And I was there when they filmed them
So search them, you know I'm not in them
But I was there somewhere.
