Oh I wish that I could come to you
Disguised as someone else
Oh I wish that I could come to you
Disguised as someone else

Help you lift your luggage
From the platform to the train
Ask you for directions
That I don't need explained
You would never think to ask my name

And let's not put it lightly
I put us both through hell
Oh I wish that I could come to you
Disguised as someone else

And I wish that I could work for
With someone elses hands
Oh I wish that I could work for you
With someone elses hands

To be behind the counter
Of a book store that you're in
And charge you seven dollars
For a crossword and a pen
You would leave and not look back again
Even hardened criminals
They get a second chance
Oh I wish that I could work for
With someone elses hands

Oh I wish that I could come to you
Could run to you, could sing to you
A stranger in your neighborhood
Who doesn't mean a thing to you
Singing our long forgotten song
On and on and on

I don't have the stomach
To face you as myself
So I wish that I could come to you
Disguised as someone else

Oh I wish that I could come to you
Disguised as someone else
