Wish I Were You Lyrics

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 address

The weather's here 

Wish I was fine

Wish that you could read between the lines



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 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

Take me down to where you live

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.



(Bridge)

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



Take me down to where you live

Take the things I cannot give.



You dream in colors 

My night comes in black and blue

I'll send a postcard

Oh, how I wish that I were you.
