If I Could Be Like That lyrics

He spent his whole life being too young, (He spends his nights in california)
To live the life that`s in his dreams, (Watching the stars on the big screen)
Now he lies awake and he wonders, (Then he lies awake and he wonders)
Why can`t that be me?
Cause in his life he`s filled with all these good intentions
He`s left a lot of things he`s rather not mention right now
Just before he says good night
He looks up with a little smile at me
And he says

If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?

She spends her days up in the North Park
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just a little piece of this dream
Is that too much to ask?
With a safe home
And a warm bed
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to hold on to
That`s all she needs
Yeah

If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?

(vocal solo)

If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
