I’ll Be You Lyrics

I’ll Be You

If it’s a temporary lull
Why’m I bored right outta my skull? 
Man, I’m dressin’ sharp an’ feelin’ dull

Lonely, I guess that’s where I’m from
If I was from canada
Then I’d best be called lonesome
[btw, I read in an interview that paul was struck with how some people in
Canada used the word "lonesome" instead of "lonely," hence
this lyric.]

And if it’s just a game
Then I’ll break down just in case
Hurry up, we’re runnin’ in our last race

Well, I laughed half the way to tokyo
I dreamt I was surfer joe
An’ what that means, I don’t know

A dream too tired to come true
Left a rebel without a clue
And I’m searching for somethin’ to do

And if it’s just a game
Then we’ll hold hands just the same
So what, we’re bleeding but we ain’t cut

And I could purge my soul perhaps
For the imminent collapse
Oh yeah, I’ll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
I’ll be you

A dream too tired to come true
Left a rebel without a clue
Won’t you tell me what I should do? 

And if it’s just a lull
Why’m I bored right outta my skull? 
Oh yeah, keep me from feeling so dull

And if it’s just a game
Then we’ll break down just in case
Then again, I’ll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
You be me for a while
And I’ll be you
