Like You

LIKE YOU

How I long to be like you

Wading through my dreams

Watching as the sun waves

At the colors in the rain

What’s it like to be like you

Is it heaven as it seems

Counting all the sheep at night

as they prance around the lane

And I close my eyes

And I try on your skin

But it never fits right

And I never fit in

And I breathe in your voice

And I choke on your song

And I’m wishing I was you

all along

I wear your shadow

Like a crown

Trace your silhouette

In your faded night gown

Your eyes like holy rain

On the garden I let die

Teach me to bloom

Under your dark sky

And I close my eyes

And I try on your skin

But it never fits right

And I never fit in

And I breathe in your voice

And I choke on your song

And I’m wishing I was you

all along

(Like you)

How I wish I could be

Like you

(Like you)

Don’t you wish I could be

Oh I’d give anything to be like you

Just like

Give everything to be just like you

I’d dance in the flood and let the river run through

I’d give you the fire and watch you burn me too

I’d give anything to be just like you

(Like you)

How I wish I could be

Like you

(Like you)

Don’t you wish I could be

Oh I’d give anything to be like you

(Like you)

To be like you

To be just like
