Matching homes and people
It's the making of a wish
That's catching Eddie at it
In his gla** house with his bliss
Trying to be two things at once
Under no illusions he'll make his dream come true
Calculating long shots
Still surprised to find something new
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Trying to be failsafe
Hatching plans with lovers
It's the making of a wish
That's catching Eddie at it
In the fast lane
With all those signposts he missed
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
These days
You've got to run so fast just to say where you are
