Brian Yorkey - Some Other Me lyrics

[Beth] Somewhere there's a world where you and I are man and wife We have a child Or three And it's just fine with me To love that life And somewhere there's a world Where from the first we never met We never spoke Or kissed We don't know what we missed Or don't know yet And I didn't go to Va**ar But to Smith, or Yale, or Brown I ended up in Boston Or some small Alaska town To practice law, or neuter cats Or fish the Bering Sea Those lives are lived somewhere By some other me Some other me Is homeless Some other me Is queen Some other me has seen things that no other me has seen If I met her, I would ask her that one question we both fear: Some other me How'd we end up here? [Lucas] Somewhere there's a me who never loved that other you Who liked you fine I guess As buddies, more or less And that would do And somewhere there's a you who simply worshipped other me And we were wild And hot And all the things we're not And we were free And somewhere I'm the president With plans that never fail And somewhere I'm a rebel king And some where I'm in jail I didn't chase my glory days long after they were done I found myself a woman, or a man, and had a son Some other me's A rockstar Some other me's Still cool Some other me does not feel like some tired old fool And you and I are strangers Or we're lovers, or we're not The other me's Live with what they've got [Beth] Look down each road left untaken [Lucas] Trace every turn and twist [Beth] The lives that we just let go by [Lucas] The dreams we might have missed [Both] Now we're old enough to know that One road ends where one begins The moment where the “what might be's” Turn into “might have been's” [Beth] Somewhere there's a world where you and I can still be friends Not like we were Not yet We forgive but don't forget No happy ends But friends
