If I Were You

If I were you I could set my mind at ease
I’d let my guard down and let go of this breath I have been holding
If I were you I’d be sleeping very well
I’d lay my head down knowing someone was wishing I were next to them
Could you from the corner of your mind
Maybe find some time to think of me
Then maybe for a second I could see
What it’s like to be
On the other side of me
If I were you my fingers could uncross
I’d let my arms down, swinging slowly,
And feel my fists unfolding
If I were you my eyes could finally dry
I’d let the lights down knowing I had a place in someone’s memory
Could you from the corner of your mind
Maybe find some time to think of me
Then maybe for a second I could see
What it’s like to be
On the other side of me
Don’t forget me when I’m gone
I’ll be gone for so much of the time
I’ll never be too far from you
I can’t promise things won’t change,
Things change so much of the time,
But you’re a part of who I am now
If I were you I could set my mind at ease
I’d let me guard down and let go of this breath I have been holding.
