Lyrics

I’m not a man you’d ever be with
I know I’ll never be the one
But I dream I am your lover
Just like everyone

I’m not some TV hero
I’m not your father or your friend
I could never be your mentor
Or a hundred other men

Untouchable, you drew me in
You’re the bedroom eyes in a magazine
You’re that dirty smile on a bus stop sign
You’re everywhere and on everything

I’m not going to be your savior
You’re big brother or your king
I just want to be your lover
More than anything

But I will always be the stranger
Just a shadow on the street
Just some harmless voyeur
Cloaked in anonymity

Inaccessible you appeal to me
I lust for you invisibly
You’re that flowing hair on a billboard sign
You’re everywhere, you’re on everything

And the less I feel connected
The more you mean to me
When perfection is expected
You’re the one I see

Because you’re everybody’s angel
I know I’m not the only one
And I dream I am your lover
Just like everyone
