You (Or Somebody Like You) Lyrics

You (or somebody like you)



Outside my window, I swear on my mama?s grave

You faded out of the street noise like an out-of-focus Polaroid

So I shot the moon, and I cursed the wind

For makin? me think that you were here again

Smoke and mirrors, somebody stole you away

Well that?s the biggest conspiracy since JFK

So I combed the corners and the glass houses

Had the right directions but I never found it



Well I'd trade in all the rest of my days

For just the mere reflection of your face

For one shining moment



With you or somebody like you

With you or somebody just like you



Called the inspectors, the cops and the CIA

They drew chalk circles ?round the place that we used to lay

Nobody testified, not a single witness

I swore I was crucified with no forgiveness

And the sheriff shined his light like I was drunk and dangerous

My hands were already tied, so he put away his handcuffs

And in my blind spot I saw the silhouette

Of your crazy legs smokin? a long black cigarette



Well, I'd trade in all the rest of my days

For your crooked smile and your wicked ways

I'd fill up all this empty space



With you or somebody like you

With you or somebody just like you

Oh you or somebody like you



Now I should?a learned my lesson done what I was told

Should?a counted all my blessings like fingers and toes

And now I'm tripping? like a blind man and I'm searchin? high and low



For you or somebody like you

For you or somebody just like you

For you or somebody like you

For you or somebody just like you

Oh somebody just like you

Somebody just like you
