Someone Else

Someone Else

(oehler/goedken)

When mistakes erase the things
You thought you knew about yourself
When triumph turns you
Turns you into someone else
That’s when you will hear my voice…

You feel like you’re dreaming
Someone else to sleep
Living in another’s life
That you can not keep
I have known success
And I’ve known retreat
Here I lay dreaming
Someone else to sleep

When innocence takes the things
That you forgot about yourself
When distance turns you
Turns you into someone else
That’s when you will see my thoughts…

You feel like you’re dreaming
Someone else to sleep
Lying in a stranger’s bed
With another’s heartbeat
I breathe honesty
And I breathe deceit
Here I lie dreaming
Someone else to sleep

When you know my love is true
And when you come to this place
In your destiny, feeling its embrace
That’s when you will hear my voice…
That’s when you will know my form…

You feel like you’re dreaming
Someone else to sleep
Moving down another’s road
You didn’t mean to seek
I’ve known victory
And I’ve known defeat
Here I lay dreaming
Someone else to sleep
