    Story Behind the Song
    Song can be seen as somewhat autobiographical, but can pass for being about anyone who is under the influence and doesn't realize the damage to themselves and others around them, as a result. It is about a wanna-be rock star who gets high all the time and misses his window of opportunity to become that star he thought he could be. He becomes both psychologically and emotionally, as well as physically, 'watered down' due as a result of his habit. It was one of the first tunes recorded for the Aluminum CD. Written in Los Angeles while out on tour with Cowboy Mouth. Interesting note: Background vocals were sung through a Line6 POD.

    Lyrics
    He didn't know the lights were changing
    He didn't know the lights were on
    He didn't know that he'd be stealing
    He didn't know his time had come

    The bells inside his head were ringin'
    He got too high to look around.
    He got to low when he should've been singin'
    He didn't know he was Watered Down

    (Watered Down)you'll never make it
    (Watered down)you could have been a star
    (Watered Down)you'll never fake it
    (watered down)champaign and caviar

    Watered down..you know it ain't easy
    Watered down..you know it's so true
    Watered Down..can you be happy?...
    watered down.

    I hope somebody out there saves you
    i hope somebody comes around
    I hope i find you out there dreamin'
    don't want to see you watered down

    REPEAT FIRST CHORUS

    You could be someone
    Yeh, you could be free, you could be king
    you could be some one
    you owe it to yourself,
    you owe it to yourself'
    you owe it all...

    (Watered Down)you'll never make it
    (Watered down)you could have been a star
    (Watered Down)you'll never fake it
    (watered down)champaign and caviar

    watered down..nobody wants you
    watered down..do ya feel like a movie star
    watered down..who's gonna love you?
    when you're Watered Down
    when you're Watered Down
