John’s original lyric here. I changed a few lyrics to create a female singer., but otherwise, kept the spirit and intent.

Lyrics

Nobody Nowhere @johnkanieki
[1]
Back in nineteen eighty-three, living on a prayer,
I was just another nobody, lost somewhere.
You were a shooting star, shining from afar,
And through my daydreams, I loved who you were.

[chorus]
When you smiled, I would melt,
You never knew the way I felt.
I was nobody, nowhere,
Just another girl in the air.

[2]
You were the golden boy, the king of the scene,
Laughing out loud, every girl’s dream.
I was just a shadow, standing in the wings,
Wishing I could be the one to make your heart sing.

[Chorus]

[3]
Funny how life changes, now you’re a father of three,
While I found my wings, and learned to be free.
I took a chance, and finally played the game,
The past holds tight, but it’s not the same.

[chorus]

[bridge]
I wonder if you’ll hear this song on the radio someday,
How I found my faith and learned to pray.
All my dreams came true, every one but you,
The one where it’s me and you.

[4]
Now look at the fans, in the front row seats,
They’re screaming and crying, for just a chance to meet.
As the lights dim down and the crowd fades away,
I’ve reached for the stars, but some dreams stayed.

[outro]
When you smiled, I would melt,
You never knew the way I felt.
I was nobody, nowhere,
Just another girl who cared.

Nice vocal delivery and playing and John's lyrics I think are relatable. We all have someone, a love interest, a crush, we still think about, and wonder about despite what has happened to that person and what has happened to us as well. Great collab to you both.
