If I Were You

If I were you - I think I'd stay

Just far enough to leave

Before the ice might break

If I were you - At least I'd wait

Just close enough to get

What others might take

I'm moving across

I'm moving too fast

Sometimes I'm much too slow

But how should I know?

I call to my past

Then turning my head

Present's what I got instead

I'm talkin' too loud

I whisper and moan

Sometimes I'm used to speak

Of nothing at all

I'm holding me down

And lift myself up

Though I'm half way there I stop

I'm wearing a frown

I'm cracking a smile

Sometimes I'm not so sure

Whom I habit for

I swim like a stone

A swallow it all

And sure I'm talking off o fall

Here we are

And we're all the same

Watch the tride roll in

And roll away again
