You (or somebody like you) [australian edition] Lyrics

You (or somebody like you) [australian edition] Song Lyrics

Outside my window, I swear on my mama's grave
You faded out of the street noise like an out-of-focus Polaroid
So I shot the moon, and I cursed the wind
For makin' me think that you were here again
Smoke and mirrors, somebody stole you away
Well that's the biggest conspiracy since JFK
So I combed the corners and the glass houses
Had the right directions but I 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.

Called the inspectors, the cops and the C.I.A.
They drew chalk circles 'round the place that we used to lay
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 blind spot I saw the silhouette
Of your crazy legs smokin' a long black cigarette.

Well, 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 or somebody like you.

Now, I should've learned my lesson
Done what I was told
Should've counted all my blessings like
Fingers and toes
And now I'm trippin' like a blind man
And I'm searchin' high and low.

For you or somebody like you
For you or somebody just like you
For you or somebody like you
For you or somebody just like you
Oh, somebody just like you
Somebody just like you...
