Come near to me, I wish I was a mayfly on the river Tay I'd fit all my joys and my pleasures in one perfect day I wish I was the sunlight just sittin' on the Mississippi I'd settle for a shoppin' trolley in the living In a shot I'd swap my body for a body of water Worry the cliffside top, there's a wave crashin' over I'd lower the world in a blur, or better yet, I'd cause a drought If I was a riptide, I wouldn't take you out I don't wanna be anything But I would do everything if you'd run away I don't wanna be anything like this at all But I would do everything if you'd hear me say Hey, don't look another way Hey, look another way Look, I wanna be loud, so loud our car can save me I wanna be soft as a single stone in a rain state I wanna be the thunder of a hundred thousand hooves movin' quick If I was a stampede, you wouldn't get a kick I wanna be the shadow and my bright future's behind me I wanna be the last thing anybody ever sees I hear he touches your hand and then you fly away together If I had his jaw, you would lose forever I don't wanna be anything But I would do everything if you'd run away I don't wanna be anything like this at all But I would do everything if you'd hear me say Hey, don't look another way Hey, look another way I don't wanna be everything But I would do everything if you'd hear me say I don't wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be I don't wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Don't look another way Don't look another way
