Some Other Me

Some Other Me Song Lyrics

---

Somewhere there's a world where you and I are man and wife
We have a child, or three
And it's just fine with me
To love that life

And somewhere there's a world where from the first we never met
We never spoke, or kissed
We don't know what we missed
Or don't know yet

And I didn't go to Vassar, but to Smith or Yale or Brown
I ended up in Boston or some small Alaska town
To practice law or neuter cats or fish the Bering Sea
Those lives are lived somewhere
By some other me

Some other me is homeless
Some other me is queen
Some other me has seen things that no other me has seen
If I met her, I would ask her
That one question we both fear
Some other me, how did we end up here?

Somewhere there's a me who never loved that other you
Who liked you fine, I guess as buddies, more or less
And that would do

And somewhere there's a you who simply worshiped other me
And we were wild and hot and all the things we're not
And we were free

And somewhere I'm the president with plans that never fail
And somewhere I'm a rebel king, and somewhere I'm in jail
I didn't chase my glory days long after they were done
I found myself a woman, or a man, and had a son

Some other me's a rockstar
Some other me's still cool
Some other me does not feel like some tired old fool

And you and I are strangers
Or we're lovers
Or we're not
The other me's live with what they've got

Look down each road left untaken
Trace every turn and twist
The lives that we just let go by
The dreams we might have missed

Now we're old enough to know that
One road ends where one begins
The moment where the what-might-be's turn into might-have-beens

Somewhere there's a world where you and I can still be friends
Not like we were, not yet
We forgive, but don't forget
No happy ends, but friends
