Switchfoot - ⁠if i were you lyrics

[Intro] One, two, one, two, three, four [Verse 1] 2020 enemies What a dismal odyssey Held by only apathy Is there any remedy? 'Cause we bicker over Listerine With Twitter as our liturgy What a crummy legacy 2020 enemies [Chorus] If I were you And you were me Would we still be doomed To disagree? 'Cause you'd be me If I were you And you'd never see My point of view If I were you If I were you, mm-mm [Verse 2] Hey Romeo, it's Juliet Are you Montague or Capulet? Or some denigrating apathetic insult that we both forget? 'Cause fake is on the internet And fear is on the TV set Outrage is the habitat For 2020 novelettes [Chorus] If I were you (If I were you) And you were me (And you were me) Would we still be doomed (Would we still be doomed) To disagree? (To disagree?) 'Cause you'd be me ('Cause you'd be me) If I were you (If I were you) And you'd never see (And you'd never see) My point of view (My point of view) If I were you [Bridge] Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs (Oh-oh) I get the feeling we've been here before (Oh-oh-oh) Ain't it clear what we're aiming for? (Oh-oh) Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs Yeah, but what if me and you Were in each other shoes Could we break through? To somewhere different, somewhere new 'Cause if you're stuck with me I guess I'm stuck with you Could we rise above the scars that we both put each other through [Chorus] If I were you (I think I'm ready to try us) And you were me (I think I'm ready to try) Would we still be doomed (To put the past behind us) To disagree? (Yeah, to put the past behind) 'Cause you'd be me ('Cause it's already behind us) If I were you (Yeah, I'm sick of falling behind) And all I see (I think I'm ready to try us) Is what you put me through (Maybe I'd be ready to try) [Outro] If I were you and you were me, I would be you And then we'd both be true I wonder what we'd do If you were me, I would be you Would one plus one be two? I wonder what we'd do If I were you
