Amy's Song

Joshua Radin · We Were Here [2006]

You asked me to write a tune all about the things that go wrong

And then you asked to come home soon to the place where I belong

But you stand on the other side of the line in this place

And you can't see me

You are blind and this shit you can't fake

No

This you can't fake



Sometimes

Sometimes I want to be

I scream that I want to be anyone but me



I don't know if I can write about chosen wars and the things you feel

And I don't know if I can sing aloud

Closing doors show me what's real

But I know when I close my eyes late at night there's only one thing

A night showing that she can't lie

It's your fight

Show me something

Can you show me something



Sometimes

Sometimes I want to be

I scream that I want to be anyone but me



What do you want me to say

All I know is love

It's okay



I'll write when I know

You do the same

Tell me I'm sane



But sometimes

Sometimes I want to be

I scream that I want to be anyone but me
