If I Could Be Like That Lyrics by 3 Doors Down

If I Could Be Like That

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?

[vocal solo]

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?
