Well, I can see what you mean
It just takes me longer
And I can feel what you feel
It just makes you stronger
[Chorus:]
I know, I know, I know
Oh, the feeling grows
I see, I see, I see
It's got to be
You can take me for a little while
You can take me, you can make me smile in the end
Well, I can do what you do
You just do it better
And I can cry like you cry
It just makes me sadder
[Chorus]
Well, I can shine like you shine
It doesn't make me brighter
But if I think like you think
It don't make my load much lighter
[Chorus]
The fine line between confidence and arrogance, selflessness and selfish. Seems as if the the narrator, is just noticing characteristic differences in someone they know and themselve. Just guessing.
