Do You Wish It Was Me
Jason Aldean · Relentless [2007]
The moon from the sky
And touches your face as you open your eyes
What are you thinking?
Do you like what you see?
Is it all that you dreamed of?
Or do you wish it was me?
Is the life that you've chosen
free from regret?
Or is what might've been
just too hard to forget?
has the glitter all faded?
do you get what you need?
are you satisfied baby?
or do you wish it was me?
I know that you did
What you thought you should do
It was safe and secure
so completely thought through
but you sacrificed passion
and abandoned your dreams
baby was it all worth it?
or do you wish it was me?
does each kiss get closer
to the first or the last?
is the fire still raging?
or does it burn down to ash?
do the memories haunt you?
do they beg and they plead?
are you satisfied baby?
or do you wish it was me?
ohhhh...
Is the life that you've chosen
free from regret?
or is what might've been
just too hard to forget?
has the glitter all faded?
do you get what you need?
are you satisfied baby?
or do you wish it was me?
are you satisfied baby?
mmmmm.... yeah....
or do you wish it was me?
do you wish it was me?
ohhhhh do you wish it was me?
do you wish it was me? yeahhh
do you wish it was me?
ohhhhhh....
