it's not very hard to look in your eyes,
so why am i laughing?
it's not very hard to look at the sky,
when it looks back at me.
a cool fantasy, to see you,
but the reach is a little far for me.
how great is it to be you?
if i could be something, you're what i'd be.
don't try to say you're unhappy, 'cuz i can see your teeth.
i know you're smiling.
how does the mirror know i'm just plastic foam?
is my reflection lying?
a cool fantasy, to see you,
but i have no style, do i?
i could never be you,
'cuz you are you and i am "i"
a cool fantasy, to see you,
but you know we're both just floating away.
i'll never be you,
but maybe i'll meet you someday.
