He spent his whole life being too young (He spends his nights in California) To live the life that’s in his dreams (Watching the stars on the big screen) Now he lies awake and he wonders (Then he lies awake and he 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’s rather not mention right now Just before he says good night 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? 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 on to 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? 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?
