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
