If I Could Be Somebody Else

I bet you don't even know my name
But that's okay, I can't blame you
You got better things to worry 'bout
Like kissing strangers when you go out
Spending time with all your friends
Wish I had the guts to ask you out sometime

But I know this could never be
But if I am allowed to dream
Then it was you and me

Then I would laugh with you all night
Take my chance and hold you close
And I'd follow you back home
If I could be somebody else
I would be your Romeo
And I would never let you go
Maybe I could be your stranger

One too many strobing lights
Yeah, I can spot you in this crowd
Am I staring way too obvious
But if I gathered all my confidence, could I walk right up to you
Be the stranger you've been looking for, no

I know this could never be
But I'm still allowed to dream
And if it was you and me

Then I would laugh with you all night
Take my chance and hold you close
And I'd follow you back home
If I could be somebody else, I would be your Romeo
And I would never let you go
Baby, I could be your stranger
Baby, I could be your stranger

Oh, come on man, I know you can do it
Stop staring in the mirror, you act like a loser
Be the best you can, and just give it a try

I'm walking towards you, my legs are shaking
I'm in double speed and my heart is racin'
Doing the best I can, just give it a try
Try

And now you laugh with me all night
Took my chance and held you close
Then I followed you back home
No need to be somebody else
I can be your Romeo
And I would never let you go

Said I would

Said I would
Yeah
