Be Like That [3 Doors Down]
American Pie · American Pie 2 [Soundtrack] [2001]
He spent his whole life being to young
To live the life that's in his dreams
At night he lies awake and he wonders
Why can't that be me?
Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intention
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now
Just before he says goodnight
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, yeah
Now in dreams we run
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?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I'm falling into this
In dreams, we run away
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, Lord?
What would I do, yeah
Falling in
I feel lost
Falling in
To this, again
To live the life that's in his dreams
At night he lies awake and he wonders
Why can't that be me?
Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intention
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now
Just before he says goodnight
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, yeah
Now in dreams we run
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?

Be Like That [3 Doors Down]
This track by 3 Doors Down serves as a standout moment on the American Pie Presents Band Camp soundtrack, released in 2005. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of alternative rock and pop-punk, characterized by its driving rhythm and anthemic chorus. While the track was originally released as a single, its inclusion in this compilation highlights the group's ability to craft energetic, crowd-pleasing material that resonated with audiences during the late 2000s. The recording captures the raw energy typical of the era's garage-rock revival, positioning 3 Doors Down alongside other prominent acts featured in the American Pie series.
