Disguised As Someone Else

I wish that I could come to you disguised as someone else
I wish that I could come to you disguised as someone else
Help you lift your luggage from the 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
Let’s not put it lightly
I put us both through hell
I wish that I could come to you disguised as someone else
I wish that I could work for you with someone else’s hands
I wish that I could work for you with someone else’s hands
Be behind the counter of a bookstore that you’re in
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
I wish that I could work for you with someone else’s hands
I wish that I could come you, could run to you, could sing to you
A stranger in your neighborhood who doesn’t mean a thing to you
Singing now alone a 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
I wish that I could come to you disguised as someone els
