He spent his whole life being too young
To live the life that's in his dreams
At night he lies awake and he wonders
Why can’t that be me

'Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions
He’s left a lot of things, he’d rather not mention right now
Just before he says goodnight
He looks up with a little smile at me and he says

If I can be like that, well, I would give anything
Just to live one day in those shoes
If I can be like that, what would I do?
What would I do? Yeah

Now in dreams we run

She spends her days up in the north park
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just a little piece of this dream
Is that too much to ask?

With a safe home and a warm bed
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to hold onto
That’s all she needs, yeah

If I can be like that, well, I would give anything
Just to live one day, yeah in those shoes
If I can be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

Yeah, yeah yeah, oh oh, yeah
I’m falling into this
In dreams we run away

If I can be like that, well, I would give anything
Just to live one day in those shoes
If I can be like that, what would I do?
What would I do? Yeah

If I can be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day in those shoes
If I can be like that, what would I do?
Lord, what would I do? Yeah, yeah

Falling in, I feel, I'm falling in to this again
