(From 3 Doors Down's album "The Better Life")
Alternate Verse 1 From "American Pie 2 Soundtrack"
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?"
"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, in 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?
Falling in
I feel I am falling in, to this again
