Wish that I could be you for just one day
How'd it be for me to think and to live that way
Maybe then I would see I would realize
Just who you are
Just one day inside of your head
Just one night of sleep in your bed
Maybe then I would know who you are
I don't know now
I would learn what to do if I were you
Always know what to say and just what to do
I would quit all the things that you hate
I would know why you don't listen sometimes
I could go to that silent place where you hide
I would see all the pictures of fear
I would see that you do what you can
It was me who turned tail and ran
I would know how alone you can feel
If I were you
If I were you for a little while
A day of two with your certain smile
And in your shoes I could walk a mile
Then I would know
I wish I knew how to lend a hand
Just what to do in this foreign land
If I were you I would understand
If I were you
How'd it be for me to think and to live that way
Maybe then I would see I would realize
Just who you are
Just one day inside of your head
Just one night of sleep in your bed
Maybe then I would know who you are
I don't know now
I would learn what to do if I were you
Always know what to say and just what to do
I would quit all the things that you hate
I would know why you don't listen sometimes
I could go to that silent place where you hide
I would see all the pictures of fear
I would see that you do what you can
It was me who turned tail and ran
I would know how alone you can feel
If I were you
If I were you for a little while
A day of two with your certain smile
And in your shoes I could walk a mile
Then I would know
I wish I knew how to lend a hand
Just what to do in this foreign land
If I were you I would understand
If I were you
