Jeff Burgess & The Bad Mares - If I Were You [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

If I were you
I'd go outside
And live in the darkest kind of light
It's only right
To take the long road home at night
Octavia, you're grey and I am white

If I were you (If I were you)
I wouldn't hide (I'd get so tired)
And go straight into the darkness with you
And can you tell (that) I'm (through)
Cause you (I) know my (your) tune
My heart is a reprise and now you can play it too

No I can't live like this anymore
This room's a tomb when you're at the door
I can't forgive this gloom in our lore
No I can't live like this anymore

If you were me
What would be "we"?
Would you have gone and left me here alone?
Or would you have known
That I don't wanna roam

And I'm running out of things to sing about
Will you count me out now?

I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to sing about it
They told me this was heaven
Wrapped up in a bow
But now I know that's it's all
Just a show, hit the wall
Cut the rope, sandbags fall down

If it was me
Up there in the sky
I would try to find the softest place to land
I don't understand
How one can fly, but then still stand
It seems to me the ground would just be bland

Oh I can't live like this for too long
My death won't beg celestial songs
I'm in too deep to tell you I'm wrong
Oh I can't live like this for too long

And maybe I'll cry like that songbird sings
Or maybe I'll go to bed
And I'll close my eyes and I'll lay my head
And I'll die
