I Wish I Could Be Like You

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I watch you cross the room

Everybody turns to catch your weather

You laugh like nothing hurts

And I practice that sound alone

Pre-Chorus

I keep your picture in my pocket

Study the way you hold your chin

Something in me wants to copy

Something in me wants to win

Chorus

I wish I could be like you

Wish I could wear my skin that easy

I wish I could be like you

Breathe out and never once say sorry

And I hate that I want it

Hate that I mean it too

I wish I could be like you

Verse 2

Your hands don't shake at all

Mine map the exits of every room

You say exactly what you feel

I rehearse a sentence for a week

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's the way you're built

Maybe it's the way I'm bent

Either way I'm standing here

Paying rent inside your silhouette

Chorus

I wish I could be like you

Wish I could wear my skin that easy

I wish I could be like you

Breathe out and never once say sorry

And I hate that I want it

Hate that I mean it too

I wish I could be like you

Bridge

Copy copy copy till I lose the line

Where you finish and where I begin

Something borrowed something thin

I don't want to be you

I just want to stop pretending I'm not me

Chorus

I wish I could be like you

Wish I could wear my skin that easy

I wish I could be like you

Breathe out and never once say sorry

And I hate that I want it

Hate that I mean it too

I wish I could be like you

Post-Chorus

Like you

Like you

Oh-oh

Like you

Chorus

I wish I could be like you

Wish I could wear my skin that easy

I wish I could be like you

Breathe out and never once say sorry

And I hate that I want it

Hate that I mean it too

I wish I could be like you
