[Verse 1]
I came to make it right
I know it was your birthday
Now I do remember
But these days my mind ain't right
Maybe it's the pressure, think you can forgive me
Don't over think it baby
Doesn't mean that I am falling out of love

[Chorus]
Don't you think that I
Wish that I could be somebody else sometimes
Someone to depend on
I don't know what's wrong with me
Don't you think that I
Wish that I could be somebody else sometimes
Someone that would never forget your birthday

[Verse 2]
I bet your family
Never wanna see me
Sisters wanna knee me
Most times I think they're right
Whistle in my memory
Away just like a melody
And what was that alibi
Think what it's like to be me
Before you leave me

[Chorus]
Don't you think that I
Wish that I could be somebody else sometimes
Someone to depend on
I don't know what's wrong with me
Don't you think that I
Wish that I could be somebody else sometimes
Someone that would never forget your birthday

[Bridge]
When I met ya
You were looking for a sunny day
A little bit of fun
And a whole lot of running away
And now you're looking at somebody
That you would love to change

[Chorus]
Don't you think that I
Wish that I could be somebody else for you
Someone you could count on
What is taking so long
Don't you think that I
Wish that I could be somebody else sometimes
Someone that would never forget your birthday
Baby, happy birthday

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
