Wish I Were You Songtext

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 With showers, fine Wish that you could read between the lines [CHORUS] Cause you dream in colors by night Rose and black and blue I'll send a postcard Oh how I wish that I were you I wish I were you Cause 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 want to do Now take me down to where you live And take the things I cannot give [CHORUS] Cause you are like the ocean I'm a river that's run dry If you cannot reach me All my white flowers They will die Now take me down to where you live Take the things I cannot give [CHORUS] Now take me down to where you live Take the things I cannot give
