I Wann Live Like You
By Songs by Corey
Verse 1:
Start of the day, seeing you and my heart skips a beat.
Like a song in my head that’s on constant repeat.
You work in a hurry, kinda makes me worry if I’d only slow you down, like an old Taurus doing 15 downtown.
Approaching me, so close that I memorized the lines on your face.
Every little imperfection that seems perfect to me, it’s not right, yet seeing you go, and I continue the chase.
You move like a freight train crossed with a cheetah, fierce yet elegant in your design,
Moving like nothing I’d ever known, yet something about you says that you are all alone.
I wanna take a chance, but I’ve been through this dance.
I should let you go, but I convince myself, it could work, you never know.
Everyone can see that you live so carefree, action without compromise is your philosophy.
Living life on a whim, is where your free will kicks in.
I just wanna be the guy who looks you right in the eye and says I wanna live like you.
Your spontaneous nature rubbing off on me, I’m more confident and so proud, so proud to sing out loud that I wanna live like you.
Verse 2:
As you work tending to your machines, you move like one as such. Fast and loud, boots stomping, yet with a woman’s touch.
As boredom sets in at my post, I run to you. You tell me your problems, at least it’s always something new.
You may not be a romantic by nature, but as close as you stand next to me, any closer could spell danger.
On the surface, you act like one of the guys, but I see a different person when I look into your eyes.
Another side of your eggshell that I feel like I can crack.
Asking you questions more personal, my mind working overdrive trying to keep track.
Back to my post, my internal drive compiling new knowledge of this new brain food.
Now the rest of my day goes smoother, talking to you girl always curbs my mood.
Everyone can see that you live so carefree, action without compromise is your philosophy.
Living life on a whim, is where your free will kicks in.
I just wanna be the guy who looks you right in the eye and says I wanna live like you.
Your spontaneous nature rubbing off on me, I’m more confident and so proud, so proud to sing out loud that I wanna live like you.
Verse 3:
Punching the clock and going home, a fortress of solitude where I can be alone.
Heating up the oven, watching the news, my thoughts soon turned to you and your world view.
I vow that tomorrow will be the day that I have something to say.
But how should I phrase it, tendency to overthink.
I’ve been here before, every time that I try to swim I only sink.
Drifting off to sleep, and all I do is think.
Tried counting sheep, but all the sheep had your face.
I guess when I think of you, I’m in my happy place.
The next day and I am ready. Up on coffee, I hid my hand in my sleeve to hide the shaking.
At my post, I look over to her coming my way. This is my chance to either sink or swim. I usually lose, but I’m positive that this time I can win.
Working up the courage, I say these words to you.
Everyone can see that you live so carefree, action without compromise is your philosophy.
Living life on a whim, is where your free will kicks in.
I just wanna be the guy who looks you right in the eye and says I wanna live like you.
Your spontaneous nature rubbing off on me, I’m more confident and so proud, so proud to sing out loud that I wanna live like you.
Not quite sure what happened, I pinch myself. Not a dream, but what could this mean? I’ll soon find out.
You laugh, but not to mock. Although that’s not what I first thought.
I turned away, not knowing what to say.
You took me by the shoulders to reassure me. Meeting your eye, I can see everything so clearly.
Now we’re both laughing, a new understanding reached. Amazing what a few simple words to a friend can teach.
I realize that I don’t want you, I just want to be more like you.
Maybe you can show me, you already know me, no strings attached.
How to be so free, so confident, so cool, so you.
I’m in your hands now, so show me your way. It’s in this song that I can proudly say I wanna live like you.
