Different Shoes

I wish I could see life through the eyes of a songwriter. Every mood, a lyric. Each love, a harmony. Every heartbreak, a metaphor. Every time you're lonely, you sit at the piano and sing away the tears.
I wish I could see life through the eyes of an author. Each moment, a new chapter. Every tear, a title. Each love, a new novel. Every time you're lonely, you sit with pen and paper and write away the tears.
I wish I could see life through the eyes of an actor. Every smile, a new scene. Every love, a new act. Each disappointment, a new playbill. Every time you're lonely, you climb on that stage and pretend away the tears.
I wish I could see life through the eyes of a dancer. Every loss, a pirouette. Each love, a leap. Every ending, a curtain call. Every time you're lonely, you put on those shoes and dance away the tears.
I wish I could stop wishing I was someone else.
