Someone Else

I've thought this through a thousand times
What I would do to make you mine
Other girls can play their games

I would rather play it safe
Nobody gets hurt that way

But if I were someone else
I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate
To walk right up to you and say: Dance with me
If I were someone else

If you were someone else
The entire room would just fall away
To you, I'd be the only one in this place
If you were someone else
If I were someone else

The whole scene plays out in my head
The evening's coming to an end
Suddenly, the lights are low
The DJ puts on something slow
The perfect chance to hold you close

And if I were someone else
I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate
To walk right up to you and say: Dance with me
If I were someone else

If you were someone else
The entire room would just fall away
To you, I'd be the only one in this place
If you were someone else
If I were someone else

And, yes, this might be shaking ground
But I know where I stand
It's not worth the fight
I'm fine with walking home alone tonight

But if I were someone else
I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate
To walk right up to you and say: Dance with me
If I were someone else

If you were someone else
The entire room would just fall away
To you, I'd be the only one in this place
If you were someone else
If I were someone else
