I Could Be

i could be the biggest baby you will ever meet
and i could be the wisest tree still counting centuries
i could be the darkest shade of fear
and i could be the brightest moon
but i can’t be the way you want me to
i could write a book with everything i should’ve said
and i could build a road with all the signals i misread
i can make waves on a water bed
and i can make a living too
but i can’t be the way you want me to
i can be the man who laughs as loud as neon green
and i can be the man who cries silently
i can be as cold as winter rain
and i can be as warm as june
but i can’t be the way you want me to
