The Right Words

I'm stuck in the background again
I peep out behind the scenes
Just stealing the show like you do
Or so it seems
Your look cuts right through me once more
But one day I'll catch your eye
Until then an extra I'll be
Know you so I

I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man

A cold leather sofa a beer
I slip into normalcy
A box left unopened for years
No difference to me
And all the right words I should say
They come to me in my dreams
And in the heat of the day
My mind is empty

I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man

I'm here on this corner of street
Isn't it funny how
Last time I was here was with you
It's so different now
White birds and the wind chimes are gone
And it's the same for me
Feeling the sand until dawn
Lost endlessly

I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man
I wish I was your man
