i want to be like you 

in a jam band where the lights crown me and i'm a superstar 

i want to see like you 

over me and over them 

i want to cry like you

out my trivial and shallow opinion 

on the state of things

i want to try like you

on a soapbox in front of them 



and I can't claim to have a reason 

unless it's lost somewhere down deep 

could be i don't get enough attention 

if time and talk were cheap

i'd want to be like you



what if I chose to walk like you? 

carrying around my designer personality 

and biting my nails 

if i could dance like you

i'd be a millionaire 

i don't think this me would like you 

but, damn just knowing that you are loving 

every single blink byÉ it makes me smile for you

is anybody in there?



and i can't claim to have a reason

unless it's lost somewhere down deep 

could be i don't get enough attention 

if time and talk were cheap 

i'd want to be like you 



and i can't claim to have a reason

unless it's lost somewhere down deep

could be i don't get enough attention

if time and talk were cheap

i'd want to be like you
