The Me I'd Like To Be
 
They tell me my name's Mike and I crashed last night
I couldn't tell you if they're wrong or right
It's like my mind's a fog, some pipes got clogged
They say that my memory needs a real good jog

They brought some pictures by to shed some light
I guess I'm that guy there by the riverside
And that's his mother there and his brothers there
He's hugging them tightly like he really cares
Like he's got love to spare...

Looks like a good man
Looks like a fine man
Looks like a loving and a kind man
The kind of guy you'd like to meet
But is that me?
Looks like the me I'd like to be

Here comes that cop again, said his name was Ken
He said that the two of us, we were lifelong friends (and I was)
The toughest guy he knew, the smartest too
And he's here to help me 'cause that's what I would do
I only wish I knew...

Sounds like a good man
Sounds like a fine man
Sounds like a loving and a kind man
The kind of guy you'd like to meet
But is that me?
Sounds like the me I'd like to be

I'm sure there's things that I've done in my life I'm not proud of
People I've hurt, promises I've wriggled out of
Let them stay in the dark
Let me make a new start
And live up to the man
They all tell me I am

Oh, and I'd be a good man
I'd be a fine man
I'd be a loving and a kind man
The kind of guy you'd like to meet
But is that me?
Ooh, that's the me I'd like to be

Yeah, that's the me I'd like to be
