Be Somebody Else
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I could be somebody else
Trade this body for a couple days
Hide my baggage on the highest shelf
Swear they wouldn't notice anyway
Maybe I could try some different shoes
And walk a mile with nothing to lose
I'd go back to all the places where I lost the kid I knew
And maybe make some old dreams come true
Maybe I been stuck on path that was destined to take me nowhere
Maybe I been lost in a game I can't play for way too long
I know I shouldn't think bout the things I coulda changed 'cause it's all too much tonight
And if I changed them I'd still probably get it wrong
Maybe I could be somebody else
Tell some stories that I don't regret
Hide my baggage on the highest shelf
Drink some bottles that I won't forget
Maybe I could find some different friends
Or just be better to the ones I have
I'd go back to all the conversations scrolling through my head
And maybe say the right words instead
Maybe I been stuck on path that was destined to take me nowhere
Maybe I been lost in a game I can't play for way too long
I know I shouldn't think bout the things I coulda changed 'cause it's all too much tonight
And if I changed them I'd still probably get it wrong
Maybe I could be somebody else
Trade this body for a couple days
Hide my baggage on the highest shelf
Swear they wouldn't notice anyway
Yeah if I could be somebody else
If I really left it all behind
Swear I'd teach the world how not to feel the things I feel right now
And maybe even learn to love myself
