If I Were You

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
