Is There Anybody Out There Lyrics

You can say goodbye
To all the things that you have ever known.
You can say goodbye
And leave behind the life that you have grown.
What's the point
You try to start from scratch
but get let down

You can say goodbye
Just to realise there's no-one left around.
So what am I fighting for.


Tell me
Is there anybody out there
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone
Am I looking for an answer
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried
I'm looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

You can live or die
Without the chance to find out what your worth
You can live or die
And never find the one that she'd deserve
You can walk alone
And live inside the shadows in your heart

You can say goodbye
Or live and find out you've been alone right from the start
So what am I fighting for.

Tell me
Is there anybody out there
am I swimming through this empty sea alone
Am I looking for an answer
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried
I am looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

Never thought I would end up all alone
Every day I am feeling further away from home
I can't catch my breath
but I am holding on.

Is there anybody out there
is this the last time I have to say goodbye
Am I staring at my future
Is it time to take charge of my life

Is there anybody out there
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone
Am I looking for an answer
or am I trying to find a way to get back home
Is there anybody out there
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried
I am looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive
a way to survive
and I am holding on.

Secondhand Serenade is a one man band from Menlo Park, California. John Vesely, 30, sings and plays guitar and piano. His music is characterized by multitrack recording so he can create the sound of a band by himself. He uses multitrack recording to create vocal harmonies, and a lead acoustic guitar over strummed chords.

After the breakup of Sounds Like Life, featuring himself and Ronnie Day, Vesely started writing and performing his songs solo under the name Secondhand Serenade. (Secondhand, because his wife, Candice, hears all his songs firsthand.) He rented a studio for 8 days and recorded his 10-track debut album "Awake." Through self-promotion through MySpace and PureVolume, he began to build a loyal fanbase and sold his album and merchandise via his MySpace profile. He quickly rose to the MySpace "Top Unsigned Artists" list, and even entered the iTunes Top 100, a feat for an unsigned act.

He has since signed a deal with new label Glassnote Records, founded by CEO Daniel Glass. In total, Secondhand Serenade has sold about 73,000 digital tracks and more than 10,000 copies of his album "Awake," according to Nielsen SoundScan. After the album was released on Glassnote/ILG on Feb. 6, 2007, with two additional songs, it debuted on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart at # 16.

Vesely was featured on MTV's "You Hear It First," along with spots on AOL Music's "Breakers" and on Yahoo! Music's "Who's Next?".

Another album, "A Twist In My Story," has since been released and a band effect was added digitally. He is on tour, now with a band.
