To Be A God

Paint me the bluest sky and the sunniest day in May
Paint me the depths of your despairs that fade away
Paint me the rear view as you walk away
And I'll eat it up every day

For you, this is a place that you sometimes return
For you, this is a path for which life once took a turn
For you, this is a memory buried down deep
For me, this is where I sleep

And I'll live through you vicariously
I'll stay in bed while you take the leap
Is this how it's meant to be?
I receive a postcard and you visit Greece

But I carry a care for you deep in my bones
You change everything, my manners to my clothes
I linger on your skin as I watch you through photos
And think, "Did I tell you I'm troubled?"

And I'll live through you vicariously
I'll stay in bed while you take the leap
Is this how it's meant to be?
I receive a postcard, and you visit Greece

Fresh and green
Got everything I want
More love than the sun by the sky
Aphrodite envies your smile

But I'll live through you vicariously
I'll stay in bed while you take the leap
Is this how it's meant to be?
Bleed myself dry for your love
And to be what I envy

It's my homemade destiny
Worshiping a self-proclaimed god
'Cause to be a god is to be enough
