Can I Be Him
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.
You walked into the room
And now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be him?
I heard there was someone, but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, oh, no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be the one?
Can I be the one?
Can I be the one?
Oh, can I, can I be him?
Won't you sing it again
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
Won't you sing it again
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
