I live vicariously (rewrite 2)


I live vicariously

through everyone I know

I study what they're doing

like they're putting on a show
and I pretend I'm one of them
I do it all so well
my big potential nightmare
is for me to be myself

I live vicariously
through what normal people do
all those normal days and nights
I want to have them, too
I want to travel near and far
to unknown foreign lands
but  I just can't do it
my life's made other plans

          I live vicariously
          through celebrities
          you see on TV
          I want to change identity
          to someone who I am not

I live vicariously
most of all through you
you are the person
I currently look up to
I don't want to be myself
I need to be someone else
my big potential nightmare
is for me to be myself
