4. EVERYBODY KNOWS
Words & Music by Emily Robison, Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines,

Tell me now
If you came sneaking up behind
Would you know me
And see behind the smile
I can change like colors on a wall
Hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all
I think I hide it all so well
Steppin’ out
Everyone can see my face
All the things I can’t erase
From my life
Everybody knows
Standing out
So you won’t forget my name
That’s the way we play this game
Of life
Everybody knows
Looking through the crowd
I search for something else
But every time I turn around
I run into myself
Here I stand
Consumed with my surroundings
Just another day
Of everybody looking
I swore they’d never see me cry
You’ll never see me cry
Steppin’ out
Everyone can see my face
All the things I can’t erase
From my life
Everybody knows
Standing out
So you won’t forget my name
That’s the way we play this game
Of life
Everybody knows
You say I’ll pay the price
That’s the chance that I’ll take
Though you may think I’m telling lies
But I just call it getting by
Steppin’ out
Everyone can see my face
All the things I can’t erase
From my life
Everybody knows
Standing out
So you won’t forget my name
That’s the way we play this game
Of life
Everybody knows
I am just barely getting by
