The Other Guy Songtext
von Xander Chappell

I can′t help but fall when I try to fly
I don't want to be the other guy
Why do I just get pushed away
When there′s a room of black and white
You're the colour and the light
So much I sing but I don't say

I seem to get caught up in things
It′s all quite overwhelming
You tell me that it′s not my fault
You're the anchor to the ship I′m helming
So I stand up again because
I won't let fear ruin
Another story that I′ve joined too late
Still the other guy
Not the one you wanna date
Still the other guy
Not the one you wanna date


I'd wait a day, I′d wait a week
I'd wait a thousand years to keep
The thought of you inside my head
And though I know it might be wrong
I'm not trying to move on
When I can hold to hope instead

I seem to get caught up in things
It′s all quite overwhelming
You tell me that it′s not my fault
You're the anchor to the ship I′m helming
So I stand up again because
I won't let fear ruin
Another story that I′ve joined too late
Still the other guy
Not the one you wanna date

Your pretty eyes light up the room
I think I wanna tell you soon
Might take us time but it won't fail
They say it′s easy as can be
But I don't wanna have to need
Another goddamn fairytale


I seem to get caught up in things
It's all quite overwhelming
You tell me that it′s not my fault
You′re the anchor to the ship I'm helming
So I stand up again because
I won′t let fear ruin
Another story that I've joined too late
Another story where I have to wait
Still the other guy
Not the one you wanna date
Still the other guy
Not the one you wanna date

Know that otherwise
I would be here anyway
Still the other guy
Not the one you wanna date
