a holiday from myself

life would have been so different

if i were in your place,
and i'm wondering if i were you
how would my favorite food taste?

you and i so estranged
it's hard to believe
just a few years ago
you were such a part of me
look at your life and look at mine
so much has changed in such little time

now you're dressed in the fashion
i've always dreamed of
and when you go to sleep
it's in a room you dreamed up
your mother and your father
are living out their fantasy
and you get to do the same thing everyday

got your photography
(i'm left with my philosophy)
got your singing gigs
(i'm left singing into hair combs)
got your exotic looks
(and i'm plain as the day)
you seem like you're so happy
i'm in so much pain

how could i
want to be you when i dont even know who you are
maybe you aren't really living a life that is charmed
i wanna be you just for a minute
oh hell, i wanna be you just for a minute

let's trade
for a day
we can call it
a holiday
from myself
