Someone Else Is Me

White picket fences A house on Easy Street But she's caught fighting upstream Tells her kids sleep tight Lays in satin sheets But at night it ain't the only time she dreams After putting her life on the shelf She started wishin' she could be someone else Someone who's kinda like her Maybe just a little more wild Someone who ain't afraid to get burned Someone who's got more time She told me to be a dreamer Cause she couldn't be one herself When she looks into the mirror She wishes she saw someone else She thinks that I don't see That Someone Else Is Me She calls me up every once in a while Wonderin' what I've been up to So she can picture herself in my boots After putting her life on the shelf She started wishin' she could be someone else Someone who's kinda like her Maybe just a little more wild Someone who ain't afraid to get burned Someone who's got more time She told me to be a dreamer Cause she couldn't be one herself When she looks into the mirror She wishes she saw someone else She thinks that I don't see That Someone Else Is Me She's got weight on her shoulders But I've got guilt creepin' on in Chasin' something bigger While she's stuck wishin To be Someone who's kinda like her Maybe just a little more wild Someone who ain't afraid to get burned Someone who's got more time She told me to be a dreamer Cause she couldn't be one herself When she looks into the mirror She wishes she saw someone else She thinks that I don't see She thinks that I don't see She thinks that I don't see That Someone Else Is Me
