He spent his whole life being too young
To live the life that?s in his dreams
At night he lies awake and 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?d rather not say
right now
Just before he says good night
He looks up, with a 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 in 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 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?

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?

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?
Lord what would I do?
Yeah

Falling in I feel I?m falling into this again
