[Verse 1]
Big stretch, not much sleep
I got a couple of palm trees on each side of my cheek
And it's a bright blue Saturday

But I don't know if they belong to me
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I could buy the sky
That's hangin' over this bed of mine
And if I could climb these vines
And maybe see what you're seein'
[Chorus]
If you were sittin' on the edge of this building

And viewed my life today, but I can tell you
I don't think that I can find easy way
So, if I see you walking hand-in hand-in hand
With a three armed man, you know I'll understand
But you should have been in my shoes, yesterday
You should have been in my shoes, yesterday
