Not The Man Lyrics

You woke me in the morning with the tears on your shirt

Which means you'd been crying for more than a moment

I asked what was the matter you said you'd had a dream

And I knew I, I was probably in it

You said we were at a lake, as deep as a canyon

Swimming suits on, our boys in goggles

You slipped and fell onto your side, the water bent your smile

And I stood back and I watched you sink

I'm sorry that's not me, I'm not the man of your dreams

I hope you understand that I'm not that man

I might misbehave

Each layer's not the same

But this man loves you

I can't apologize for the man you met last night

Although he looked and sounded an awful lot like me

He took you by the hand although he planned to

Abandon you alone with the bears

I'm sorry that's not me, I'm not the man of your dreams

I hope you understand that I'm not that man

I might misbehave

Each layer's not the same

But this man loves you

Look me in the eyes, and you can see that I

I'm not the man, I'm not the man you dream of

Let's lay down together, sharing a pillow, arms and legs intertwined

Let's doze off juntos and dream of a time when I can, I can be the hero

I'm sorry that's not me, I'm not the man of your dreams

I hope you understand that I'm not that man

I might misbehave

Each layer's not the same

But this man loves you
