The Right Words - Jon Licht

I’m stuck in the background again

I peep out behind the scenes

Just stealing the show like you do

Or so it seems

Your look cuts right through me once more

But one day I’ll catch your eye

Until then an extra I’ll be

Know you so I

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man

A cold leather sofa a beer

I slip into normalcy

A box left unopened for years

No difference to me

And all the right words I should say

They come to me in my dreams

And in the heat of the day

My mind is empty

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man

I’m here on this corner of street

Isn’t it funny how

Last time I was here was with you

It’s so different now

White birds and the wind chimes are gone

And it’s the same for me

Feeling the sand until dawn

Lost endlessly

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man

I wish I was your man
