Some Other Me

Somewhere there's a world where you and I are man and wife
We have a child

Or three
And it's just fine with me

To love that life

And somewhere there's a world
Where from the first we never met
We never spoke

Or kissed
We don't know what we missed
Or don't know yet

And I didn't go to Vassar
But to Smith or Yale or Brown
I ended up in Boston
Or some small Alaska town
To practice law or neuter cats
Or fish the Bering Sea

Those lives are lived somewhere
By some other me

Some other me
Is homeless

Some other me
Is queen

Some other me has seen things that no other me has seen

If I met her I would ask her that one question we both fear:
Some other me

How'd we end up here

(Lucas:)
Somewhere there's a me who never loved that other you
Who liked you fine
I guess
As buddies more or less
And that would do
And somewhere there's a you who simply worshipped other me
And we were wild
And hot
And all the things we're not
And we were free

And somewhere I'm the president
With plans that never fail
And somewhere I'm a rebel king
And some where I'm in jail
I didn't chase my glory days long after they were done
I found myself a woman or a man and had a son
Some other me's
A rockstar

Some other me's
Still cool
Some other me does not feel like som tired old fool

And you and I are strangers

Or we're lovers or we're not

The other mes

Live with what they've got
(Beth:)
Look down each road left untaken
(Lucas:)

Trace ev'ry turn and twist
(Beth:)
The lives that we just let go by
(Lucas:)
The dreams we might have missed
(Lucas & Beth:)
Now we're old enough to know that
One road ends where one begins

The moment where the “what might bes”
Turn into “might have beens”

(Beth:)
Somewhere there's a world where you and I can still be friends
Not like we were
Not yet
We forgive but don't forget

No happy ends

But friends
