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 by 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
