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 '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 do Now 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, yeah Now take me down to where you live And take the things I cannot give, yeah, yeah, yeah You 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 you Just 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
