A Guy Like James Lyrics

Even when he didn't know the words

That were written on the wall

Long before he slammed that door behind him

He was running down the hall

Oh oh

You can burn the pictures and the frames

But don't you know you can't outrun the flames

Everybody knows a guy like James

Even though I didn't have the heart

That he wore out on his sleeve

Long before he ever saw it coming

I knew why he had to leave

Oh oh

You can burn the pictures and the frames

But don't you know you can't outrun the flames

Everybody knows a guy like James

You don't have to look too far to find

There's only so far you can go

Oh oh

Oh oh

You can burn the pictures and the frames

But don't you know you can't outrun the flames

Everybody knows a guy like James

You can turn away and play your games

But even if you may not know the names

Everybody knows a guy

There's another walking by

Everybody knows a guy like James
