If You Were Me Lyrics
If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me
And I was you
If you were me
And I was you
What kind of crazy things
Would I have to do
Who likes to party
Who stays at home
If you were me
And I was you
Never like strangers
Though never the same
Two circus side-shows
And laughter in the rain
You stay with the full moon
You search for the stars
Thank God it's heaven
Here we both are
If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me, if you were me
If you were me and I was you
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me
And I was you
If you were me
And I was you
What kind of crazy things
Would I have to do
Who likes to party
Who stays at home
If you were me
And I was you
Though never the same
Two circus side-shows
And laughter in the rain
You stay with the full moon
You search for the stars
Thank God it's heaven
Here we both are
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me, if you were me
If you were me and I was you

If we swapped places then how would I go about being you - and you being me.
This song is about the differences between people "who likes to party, who stays at home", and though they aren't completely different people they have their differences. Two crazy stories, two different views.
Oh, and the duet with Elton makes this song!
