Lyrics
Now you see me, now you don't
Don't ask me where I'm at
Cuz I'm a million miles away
Treated like a forbidden heel (Verse 1)
Don't say my thoughts are not for real
Or you won't see me again
Am I here or am I there?
Or am I playing on the stairs?
Am I in my room with my toys? (Chorus 1)
I am the disappearing boy
When I walk in crowded rooms
I feel as if it is my doom
I know that I don't belong
In that room I see her (Verse 2)
I see her and she's with him
I turn around and then I'm gone
Don't call me up 'cuz I'm not home
My whereabouts are now unknown
I vanished from all your joy (Chorus 2)
I am the disappearing boy
I had my doubts
Of where I belong (Bridge)
It's something to think about
(Chorus 2)
