Lyrics
Just Like You
You wear his picture locket on a chain
And a confidence that compliments you well
And your counterpart has never been the same
Since captured by the flavor of your spell
I see you leap with joy toward the phone
Your voice a timid whisper through a smile
Assured you never have to be alone
His heart attached to you across the miles
(across the miles...across the miles...)
CH
Will I ever feel love like you do?
Will I ever feel wanted too?
Will I ever feel needed like I need to:
Just for me? Just like you?
Will I ever feel love like you do?
Far below, the wisps of clouds are floating
as my head gently rests against the sky
Underneath a hurt-resistant coating that won't allow a glimpse of what's inside
(deep inside.....under pride...)
CH
If only I could wear your shoes and skin as fearlessly as you
But worthy friends are far too few to be jealous of the view
(from your eyes.....from your eyes...)
CH
