A Virgin Like You

I have never been mean

never been as bad as it may have seemed

I have never been vile

never been twisted or unkind

maybe I'm working too hard,

maybe I'm out of my mind

maybe there will be a day

'cause I've been losing my way

for such a very long time

that now I no longer know

where to go

oh, I wish I was a virgin

a virgin like you

I wish I had distance

to put me through

I wish I had a burden

wish that I had a dream

I wish I was as simple as you seem

here we go again

when every direction leads to pain

and the one left I know

is the one that I'm most certain

I don't want to go

maybe there will be a day,

maybe I'm out of my head

maybe love wasn't for us

'cause I've been losing my touch

for such a very long time

that I no longer know very much at all

I wish I was a virgin

a virgin like you

I wish I had distance

to put me through

I wish I had a burden

wish that I had a dream

I wish I was as simple as you seem

there was a time when I was a man

and everything was easy to understand

but now I'm floating like a shipwreck

shrunk to fit in a foreign land

I have never been mean,

never been as bad as it may have seemed
