He spends his nights in California, {He spent his whole life being to young,}

Watching the stars on the big screen, {To live the life that''s in his dreams,}

Then he lies awake and he wonders, {At night he lies awake and he wonders,}

Why can
t that be me

Cause in his life he is filled

With all these good intentions

He
s left a lot of things

He
d rather not mention right now

But just before he says goodnight,

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



Now and dreams we run

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 onto, 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



I
m falling into this, dreams,

We run away



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



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



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

Falling in

I feel I am falling in, to this again.
