My achievements seem so humble
While you're making whine from water
While my hand works the cold soil
All you touch turns into gold

And I don't wanna be like you (I don't wanna be like you)
It seems like you outrun me every time (I wanna be near you)
Why can't I erase you from my mind? (I wanna be near you)
It seems like you outrun me every time (I wanna be you)
Why can't I erase you from my mind?

All the heroes in the gutter
Finally get their ever after
As they lay their final glance
Upon your ever shining armour

And I don't wanna be like you (I don't wanna be like you)
It seems like you outrun me every time (I wanna be near you)
Why can't I erase you from my mind? (I wanna be near you)
It seems like you outrun me every time (I wanna be you)
Why can't I erase you from my mind?

Looking from a distance, the difference seems so small
Has the grass been greener on the other side at all?

I don't wanna be like you (I don't wanna be like you)
It seems like you outrun me every time (I wanna be near you)
Why can't I erase you from my mind? (I wanna be near you)
It seems like you outrun me every time (I wanna be you)
Why can't I erase you from my mind?
