Special To Me (Phoenix Audition Song)

Caught up in your wheeling and dealing
You’ve got no time left for simple feeling
I thought I knew you
But I didn’t know you at all
Trapped inside your world of worry
You miss so much when you always hurry
Well slow down baby
You’ll only get hurt if you fall
Well you told me one time
That you’d be somebody
That you weren’t working just to survive
But you’re working so hard that you don’t even know you’re alive
Working so hard to be somebody special
Not working just to survive
Well you’re special to me babe
But what I don’t see babe is
Where you go once you arrive
Where we go once we arrive
Damn all evil that takes possession
Until your pipe dreams become obsessions
They scare me baby
And we should have nothing to fear
I’m no child but I can’t help wonder
It seems like some kind of spell you’re under
You’re listening baby but somehow you don’t really hear
Well you told me one time
That you’d be somebody
That you weren’t working just to survive
But you’re working' so hard that you don’t even know you’re alive
Working so hard to be somebody special
Not working just to survive
Well you’re special to me babe
But what I don’t see babe is
Where we go once we arrive
Where you go once you arrive
