Lyrics

The Invisible Man

when i was a kid i wanted to be
the invisible man
so i could spy on girls
never be seen yeah that was my plan
but be careful what you wish for
it just might come true
cause i’d give anything
just to be seen by you

to be seen to be heard
to be loved to be missed
to be your shoulder
and your morning kiss
to know that i matter
when i reach out and take your hand
no i don’t wanna be the invisible man

its hard to believe in forever
when no one ever stays
so it was easier
just to hide my heart away
so hard trust didn’t think that i knew how
but when i look at you i think i’m ready now

to be seen to be heard
to be loved to be missed
to be your shoulder and your morning kiss
to know that i matter
when i reach out and take your hand
no i don’t wanna be the invisible man

just one touch and you set me free
to know that i see you and you see me
and i know that i matter
when you reach out and take my hand
and i’m not the invisible man
