Wish I Were You Lyrics


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 addressThe weather's here, wish I was fine
Wish that you could read between the lines'Cause you dream in colors
My night comes in 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 wanna doNow take me down to where you live
And take the things I cannot give'Cause you dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you'Cause you are like the ocean
I'm a river that's run dry
If you cannot reach me

All my wild flowers they will die, yeah, yeah, yeahNow take me down to where you live
And take the things I cannot give, yeah, yeah, yeahYou dream in colors
My night it comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you
I wish I were you, yeah I wish I were youJust wish I were you
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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
