lyrics

i want your life
let me start over
i want your life

was i an artist who would swallow his paint
could i see the billions of the colors that the tears make
was i a pilot who could drive like the wind
could i 'scape the madness of the cities that we live in
was i father who could give up his life
could i feed our babies with whatever i could muster to write
did i pray to go to heaven or hell
there's always something telling us
believe in what you're told and tell

i want your life
let me start over
i want your life
let me start over

was i a game show host who'd put on a smile
shake the hands of millions who pretend to be worthwhile
was i a farmer who would sleep in the sun
talk to all my animals and feel like i'm with someone
was i husband who would die for his wife
and always be so patient through all the lonely goodbyes
did i wish to be a part of these lives/lies
always running from myself without a decent disguise

i want your life
let me start over
i want your life
let me start over
