Wish I Were You

Wish I Were You
Time goes by, I fall out of touch
I can’t explain why I fall so much
I bought a pack of cigarettes
Sent an old Elvis stamp to your new address
The weather’s here, wish I was fine
Wish that you could read between the lines

Cos you dream in colours
My night comes in black and blue
I send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you
I wish I were you
Cos I am nothing, you are more
Than flesh and blood, a golden door
Let me come inside of you
Let me do the things I wanna do
Now take me down to where you live
And take the things I cannot give
Cos you dream in colours
My night comes in black and blue
I send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you
Cos you are like the ocean
I’m a river that’s run dry
If you cannot reach me
I’ll know why your flowers they will die
Now take me down to where you live
Take the things I cannot give
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Cos you dream in colours
My night comes in black and blue
I send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you
I wish I were you
Yeah, I wish I were you
I just wish I were you

Now take me down to where you live
And take the things I cannot give
You can take me down to where you live
And take the things I cannot give
