Let me be you tonight
I wanna feel your pain
Every time you cry my
Face is too dry
I could do all the work
All asylum, no insane
And I'd moisturize your hands
So they could hold mine
I would take the burden off your shoulders, off my shoulders
In the mirror you could see a hero and a queen
And I would make my mother proud like I told her, I told her
'Cause every time you smiled I would know what it means
I would look in the mirror
And I would take your clothes off
And I would make you tell me
How beautiful I am
And I'd become destructive
And cling to your unhappiness
But you could be me, woman
And I could be your man
And I would take the burden off your shoulders, off my shoulders
In the mirror you could see the beauty I once saw
And I would finally know for sure, there's something more here, something more
Than giving you my everything and getting nothing at all
But I would take the burden
Off our shoulders, off my shoulders
And maybe I could
Change your mind
Make it more like me (like you)
Fill our little void with
Double-sided company (through and through)
Cross the thousand-mile sea
Of secrets that you hide
Songs I don't know how to write
Dreams I'll never share
Lips you wish had touched you there
Attitudes and grievances and
Promises and emptiness you bear
Well, we can share
I would be you tonight
You'd let me in your brain
It might be irresponsible
But that is just fine, 'cause
There would be no burden left to handle
We could run around the
Hunger and the cortisol like
It was our backyard
Another home to share
No guts to spill, because we're there
It might be irresponsible but
It would be a start
