I'll Be You

If it's a temporary lull

Why'm i bored right outta my skull?

Man, i'm dressin' sharp an' feelin' dull



Lonely, i guess that's where i'm from

If i was from canada

Then i'd best be called lonesome

[btw, i read in an interview that paul was struck with how some people in

Canada used the word "lonesome" instead of "lonely," hence this lyric.]



And if it's just a game

Then i'll break down just in case

Hurry up, we're runnin' in our last race



Well, i laughed half the way to tokyo

I dreamt i was surfer joe

An' what that means, i don't know



A dream too tired to come true

Left a rebel without a clue

And i'm searching for somethin' to do



And if it's just a game

Then we'll hold hands just the same

So what, we're bleeding but we ain't cut



And i could purge my soul perhaps

For the imminent collapse

Oh yeah, i'll tell you what we could do

You be me for a while

I'll be you



A dream too tired to come true

Left a rebel without a clue

Won't you tell me what i should do?



And if it's just a lull

Why'm i bored right outta my skull?

Oh yeah, keep me from feeling so dull



And if it's just a game

Then we'll break down just in case

Then again, i'll tell you what we could do

You be me for a while

You be me for a while

And i'll be you
