: To Know Like You :

Wish I could be brave like you
Just up and leave for New York City
Or dare to dare to change the future
It's a matter of simplicity
Wish I could be strange like you
Umbrella in the sun, bare feet in the rain
You don't care but you care so much
The edges of love are tinged with pain

You said it's not that hard
To be happy
You don't really need much
Is it all in who you are
And who you have
Is that it
Is that enough

Wish I could be bold like you
You sing the songs of the subway
With your guitar and brutal honesty
You return to silent voices their say
I wish I could know like you
The secrets to all those little things
You say it's no secret at all
You turn away and again you sing

You said it's not that hard
To be happy
You don't really need much
Is it all in who you are
And who you have
Is that it
Is that enough

Did I just see you nod
Did I just see you smile
Are you telling me your secret
Are you talking to God
Should I have prayed sooner
Is this something I'll regret

Wish I could be you for a day
Knowing everything and everyone
I want to know what it's like
To wake up one morning and decide to catch the sun
I wish I had a whim to go on
And that unfaltering, invisible thing you cling to
Is it hope or is it just your nature
To live like you do
To love like you do

You said it's not that hard
To be happy
You don't really need much
So is it all in who you are
And who you love
Is that enough

I love you
Is that enough
