Joe Andrews - The Man That You Wish He Was Lyrics

Can we forget that you share his name?
His baggage was never my taste
His ignorance showed in the wars he raged
It's all a part of the growing pains
Of learning to love and set free
My love has been slave to the sins I keep

But when you're ready, come tease me
You're the one that can please me
Girl, we're on the fast track now
Save me all of your good times
Wrap me up in your Levi's
Girl, we're on the fast track now

That's when she calls me at five AM in the moonlight
"Make him the man he was in a past life
I'll take him for what he's worth if our body's read"
And through the silence, you dare to sing, "I'll be just fine"
But all these emotions scream through the phone line
The man that you wish he was looks a lot like me

Well don't just stand there, come dance with me
I'm tired of walking the line
Between what we want and the thoughts we hide
You're overflowing with apathy
So run while your conscience abides
Your vanity waits where this knot unties

But when you're ready, come tease me
You're the one that can please me
Girl, we're on the fast track now
If you wanna have a good time
Wrap me up in your Levi's
Girl, we're on the fast track now

That's when she calls me at five AM in the moonlight
"Make him the man he was in a past life
I'll take him for what he's worth if our body's read"
And through the silence, you dare to sing, "I'll be just fine"
But all these emotions scream through the phone line
The man that you wish he was looks a lot like me

So when you call me at five AM, I'll be just fine
I'll be like the man he was in a past life
So take me for what it's worth, let our souls be free
It's always silent when I sit here in the moonlight
While all these emotions scream through the phone line
The man that you wish he was looks a lot like me
I said the man that you wish he was looks a lot like me
