Who Would You Be For Me - Metric

We were sitting 'round the table At the Tuesday poker game Solvin' all the problems of the world Tryin' to draw an inside straight Jimmy posed the question As he played a pair of Kings "If you could be anyone in this whole world Who would you be" "Would you be Elvis, shaking up Memphis Making all the young girls scream Would you make a speech that would change the world Like Martin Luther King" "Go down in history, like Abe Lincoln 'Cause you set a country free If you could be anyone in this whole world Tell me, who would you be?" Hank said, "I'd be a Cowboy" Someone like John Wayne Johnny said, "Hey Pilgram Blow that cigar, smoke the other way" Said he'd make a million dollars Pitchin' in the Major Leagues Then he stared straight into Paul's bloodshot eyes And said, "Who would you be?" "Would you be John Lennon, can you imagine Giving hope with just a song Would you be the Babe, pointin' that bat Saying this ones going long" "Maybe Moses, partin' the waters Saying children follow me If you could be anyone in this whole world Tell me, who would you be?" Well, I knew those boys would roll their eyes When they heard what I had to say But I shuffled the cards and said, "Deuces wild And I told them anyways" "I'd be a father, who had all the answers To every question my kids had I'd earn every word on that coffee cup That said, world's greatest dad" "Be a perfect husband to that woman Who means everything to me If I could be anyone in this whole world That's who I'd be Yeah, that's who I'd be"

What did you plan? What did you anticipate? All you demand to find Spiraling down, falling behind No tomorrow When you're ahead of your time What did you want to know? How does it end? How does it go? From the bottom I fled But the stars overhead Let me wake from the ruin I must say that I was a wreck Hit the bottom I guess But the words you once said Let me wake from the ruin Second sight up ahead I couldn't withstand I couldn't anticipate How low I would go What did I miss? I didn't know, I didn't know Now what do you anticipate? Another catastrophe Coming around, following me From the bottom I fled But the stars overhead Let me wake from the ruin I must say that I was a wreck Hit the bottom I guess But the words you once said Let me wake from the ruin Second sight up ahead

Flooding the room two by two From the womb to the holiday There is no holiday First, double-cross her heart He wants to start a family Needing something to go on If she weren't writing in blood She'd bring him her jokes, a new liver And a shovel for the mud If he were not knee-deep in mud He'd bring her his drugs He'd get her a typewriter If this is the life Why does it feel so good to die today? Blue to grey, grow up and blow away If this is the life Why does it feel so good to die today? Blue to grey, grow up and blow away Nobody knows which street to take He took the easy way, What was the easy way? First, double-cross her heart He wants to start a family She always thought she would not If she weren't writing in blood She'd bring him her jokes, A new liver and a shovel for the mud If he were not knee-deep in mud He'd bring her his jokes He'd get her a typewriter If this is the life Why does it feel so good to die today? Blue to grey, grow up and blow away If this is the life Why does it feel so good to die today? Blue to grey, grow up and blow away First, double-cross her heart He wants to start a family Her body is the baby If this is the life Why does it feel so good to die today? Blue to grey, grow up and blow away If this is the life Why does it feel so good to die today? Blue to grey, grow up and blow away Blue to grey, grow up and blow away Blue to grey, grow up and blow away Blue to grey, grow up and blow away Blue to grey, grow up and blow away
