Not the Man

You woke me in the morning with the tears on your shirt
Which means you'd been crying for more than a moment
I asked what was the matter you said you'd had a dream
And I knew I, I was probably in it

You said we were at a lake, as deep as a canyon
Swimming suits on, our boys in goggles
You slipped and fell onto your side, the water bent your smile
And I stood back and I watched you sink

I'm sorry that's not me, I'm not the man of your dreams
I hope you understand that I'm not that man
I might misbehave
Each layer's not the same
But this man loves you

I can't apologize for the man you met last night
Although he looked and sounded an awful lot like me
He took you by the hand although he planned to
Abandon you alone with the bears

I'm sorry that's not me, I'm not the man of your dreams
I hope you understand that I'm not that man
I might misbehave
Each layer's not the same
But this man loves you

Look me in the eyes, and you can see that I
I'm not the man, I'm not the man you dream of
Let's lay down together, sharing a pillow, arms and legs intertwined
Let's doze off juntos and dream of a time when I can, I can be the hero

I'm sorry that's not me, I'm not the man of your dreams
I hope you understand that I'm not that man
I might misbehave
Each layer's not the same
But this man loves you
