Lyrics If I Were You - Seeming

If I Were You

If I were you I’d crawl out from the shelter
And dance a dizzy samba through the ash
If I were you I’d spin into a smoke ring
Till each festering bandage is a festival sash
If I were you I’d script a better future
Recite the words aloud till they were true
I’d sing until I’m someone else—'cause stoic or seducer
Someone else is gonna sing until she’s you
And if I were you I’d start the transformation
While the bodies of the heavens are aligned
If I were you then I’d be losing patience
Yes, if I were you I’d leave myself behind
If I were you I’d dress myself in silver
I’d find a way to meddle with the odds
And shimmering in spotlights, I would die for, I would kill for
The unwavering attention of the gods
Yes, if I were you I’d start the transformation
While the bodies of the heavens are aligned
If I were you then I’d be losing patience
Yes, if I were you then I would leave myself behind
If I were you then I’d be losing my mind
