C′mere to me, I wish I was a mayfly on the River Tay

I'd fit all my joys and my pleasures in one perfect day

I wish I was the sunlight, just sitting on the MississippiI′d settle for a shopping trolley in the Liffey

In a shot, I'd swap my body for a body of water

Worry the cliff side top as a wave crashing over

I'd lower the world in a flood, or better yet I′d cause a drought

If I was a rip tide, I wouldn′t take you out

I don't wanna be anything

But I would do anything just to run away

I don′t wanna be anything like this at all

But I would do everything if you'd hear me say

Oh, yeah, hey

Go look another way

Yeah, hey

Look another way

Look, I wanna be loud, so loud, I′m talking seismic

I wanna be soft as a single stone in a rainstick

I wanna be the thunder of a hundred thousand hooves moving quick

If I was a stampede, you wouldn't get a kick

I wanna be the shadow when my bright future′s behind me

I wanna be the last thing anybody ever sees

I hear he touches your hand, and then you fly away together

If I had his job, you would live forever

I don't wanna be anything, love

But I would do anything just to run away

I don't wanna be anything like this at all

But I would do everything if you hear me say

Oh, yeah, hey

Go look another way

Yeah, hey

Look another way

I don′t wanna be anything, be anything

But I would do anything (Go look another way)

I don′t wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be

Don't wanna be anything, anything

Oh, yeah, hey

Go look another way (I don′t wanna be anything)

Yeah, hey

Look another way
