I'd Rather Be Me (With You)

I'd rather be tall
I'd rather be smart
I'd rather be sure you know I care
Wherever you go
Wherever you start
I'd rather be sure you know I'm there
I'd rather I always be a part of whatever you do
I'd rather be me with you
Wherever we go
I already trust
I'd know what to do if it were us
I'd know what to say
I'd know how to be
I'd know your entire syllabus
I can't think of any other thing in the world I would rather do
If I could be
I'd rather be me with you
If I could be me
I'd know how to see
See why you choose a pain like me
The damage inside
A mountain to climb
I'd rather you stay safe far behind
If i could be me then maybe i would do more than just drag you down
I can not be me with me
Too selfish to leave
But hope you will stay
Endure life together come what may
I promise to cling
To comfort and sing
No matter what tempatures may bring
I am a mistake and people like me just don't get lucky twice
If I could be me
I'd learn how to love
Like you
