Lyrics:

“Could I Be You?” is Track 8 on Matchbox Twenty’s More Than You Think You Are.

It’s a song of utter despair, though also exemplifies the “grass is always greener” adage.
Somethin' is wrong with the sum of us
That I can't seem to erase
How can I be the only one
Without a smile on my face? Well now

You're laughin' out loud
At just the thought of bein' alive
And I was wonderin'
Could I just be you tonight?

You show your pain like it really hurts
And I can't even start to feel mine
Well, I'm standin' in place with my head first and I shake, I shake
And I see your progress stretched out for miles and miles

You're laughin' out loud
At just the thought of bein' alive
And I was wonderin'
Could I just be you tonight?

This is the sound that I make
These are the words I chose
Somehow the right thing to say
Just won't come out
Just won't come out

And you're laughin' out loud
At the thought of bein' alive
And I was wonderin'
Could I just be you tonight?
And I was wonderin'
Could I just be you tonight?

(Na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na)
And I was wonderin'
(Na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na)
And I was wonderin'
(Na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na)
Yeah, and I was wonderin' (Na, na-na, na, na, na-na)
I was wonderin', ah, yeah
