I Wish I Could Be

I wish I could be
the tears rolling down your face,
the knots in your shoe lace,
the laugh coming from your mouth,
your voice when you pout,
the socks on your feet,
the toothpaste you use to brush your teeth,
the clothes you wear,
the water in your hair,
the smile on your lips,
the belt around your hips,
the sun that shines down on you,
the rain that seems to come through,
I wish I could be these things,
because they are forever near to you,
and babe, thats where I want to be
