There's a girl sleeping in my bed
|
And I'm singing unwritten songs in my head
|
She provided bittersweet company
|
I confided how much you mean to me
|
And this time
|
It's gonna take a train to pull me through
|
Some brief distraction from your memory
|
Is all that I hoped that she might be
|
And as I let her warm her feet on me
|
Wish you were her
|
|
That I wanted you to be my wife
|
Is the worst kept secret of my life
|
Everyone knows, even my friend here
|
I've just whispered your name in her ear
|
And this time
|
It's gonna take a train to pull me through
|
Some brief distraction from your memory
|
Is all that I hoped that she might be
|
And as I ask her how she takes her tea
|
Wish you were her
|
Her
|
I wish you were her
|
|

Wish You Were Her
