Wish you were gone
with someone you'd trust
Wish you were well
instead of all this hell
could have been something
if you weren't so stretched.


The memories linger
of what could have been
way back when
I had the prize
Now that it's over
I don't even have my rover

could have been something
if you weren't so stretched.

    Could I have been
    A parking lot attendant
    Could I have been
    A millionaire in Bel Air
    Could I have been Lost somewhere in Paris
    Could I have been
    Your little brother
    Could I have been
    Anyone other than me
    Could I have been
    Anyone other than me
    Could I have been
    Anyone other than me
    Could I have been
    Anyone

    He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
    Tongue gaping stare
    Could I have been a magnet for money?
    Could I have been anyone other than me?

    Twenty three and so tired of life
    Such a shame to throw it all away
    The images grow darker still
    Could I have been anyone other than me? Then I

    Look up at the sky
    My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
    What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
    Turn, turn we almost become dizzy

    Iam who I am who I am who am I
    Requesting some enlightenment
    Could I have been anyone other than me?

    Sing and dance I'll play for you tonight
    And thrill at it all
    Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
    But I'll work it out then I

    Look up at the sky
    My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
    What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
    Turn, turn we almost become dizzy

    Falling out of a world of lies
    Could I have been dancing nancy
    Could I have been anyone other than me?

    It's off Under the Table and Dreaming, by the Dave Matthews Band. Do you know the record?

    They have, like 18 albums out, or something like that. Crazy, considering how long they've been around. I only have two, and Dave's solo effort. I like them. He's a great song-writer. Totally accessible.

    I like your poem, Justam.

    What's the "rover" of which you speak?

    I'll forgive you, i'm jamjam not just am. Anyway, the rover refers to 2 things actually. my dog that i loved so much and spent 13 years with and kind of refers to a car that i had too. but mostly about my dog, i really loved her. she was very special.
