You (Or Somebody Like You)

Outside my window, I swear on my mama's grave,
You faded out the street noise like an out of focus polaroid.
So I shot the moon, and I cursed the wind,
Making me think that you were here again.
Smoke and mirrors, somebody stole you away.
It's the biggest conspiracy since JFK.
So I combed the corners, and the glass houses,
Had the right directions, but never found it.
Well I'd trade in all the rest of my days,
For just the mere reflection of your face,
For one shining moment
With you, or somebody like you,
With you, or somebody just like you...
With you, or somebody like you,
With you, or somebody just like you...
Called inspectors, the cops and the CIA.
They drew chalk circles round the place that we used to lay.
But nobody testified, not a single witness -
I swore I was crucified with no forgiveness.
And the sheriff shined his light like I was drunk and dangerous.
My hands were already tied, so he put away his handcuffs.
And in my blindspot, I saw the silhouette
Of your crazy legs, smoking a long black cigarette.
But I'd trade in all the rest of my days,
For your crooked smile and your wicked ways,
I'd fill up all this empty space
With you, or somebody like you,
With you, or somebody just like you,
Oh you, somebody like you.. oh!
Now I should have learned my lesson,
Done what I was told.
Should have counted all my blessings
Like fingers and toes.
And now I'm tripping like a blind man,
And I'm searching high and low -
For you, or somebody like you
For you, or somebody just like you...
For you, somebody like you,
For you somebody just like you
Yeah... Oh somebody just like you
Somebody just like you... oh!
