I live vicariously (rewrite 1)


I live vicariously
through everyone I know
I look at how they're living
how they come and go
and I pretend I'm like them
or maybe somebody else
my big potential nightmare
is for me to be myself

I live vicariously
through what normal people do
all those nights out having fun
I want to do it, too
I want to travel near and far
to unknown foreign lands
I myself can't do it
life's made other plans

I live vicariously
through celebrities
you see in Hollywood movies
and watch on your TV
I want to change identity
myself blissfully forgot
I want to live my best life
as someone who I'm not

I live vicariously
most of all through you
you are the person
I currently look up to
I would like to be someone
maybe you will work out well
my big potential nightmare
is for me to be myself
