Arthur, James - Can I Be Him Lyrics






You walked into the room
And now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again

I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be him?

I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you no no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again

I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?

Can I be the one?
Can I be the one?
Can I be the one?
Oh, can I, can I be him?

Won't you sing it again
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him
Won't you sing it again
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him

I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?

  26. G.... P....

    Can I be her?😢

  27. G.... 1....

    Story time:))

    So I met this girl (we’ll call her Cass),and she was great. We were dating for the longest time, and I found this song about that time.

    I’d listen to it and I knew in my heart that it was our song. We’d listen to it together, plan our future, and things were looking amazing, but everything changed.

    She changed her love for me like clothes, and before I knew it Cass was gone. Countless memories, timeless photos, everything. I was broken.

    But there was someone on the sidelines, someone I forgot to tell you about. This person (we’ll call her Amy) helped me when I didn’t know what to say to Cass. Amy helped me plan things, she gave me advice, and she was a great friend. I’d go as far as to say she was my best friend.

    Before Cass was in the picture Amy was the person I went to with my issues, and whenever I was in a bind she was there to help me out. She sacrificed herself to make sure I was okay.

    After everything happened with Cass and I was alone with my thoughts, I got to thinking. What is love? Love is not selfish, nor is it conceded. Love is never failing. It stays when everyone else disappears. Love is sacrificial. Love is powerful. Sound familiar?

    This whole time I thought I knew who I was singing that song for, memorizing every note and key, but she was right under my nose the whole time.

    Fast forward about two years, myself and Amy are coming up on our one year anniversary and I can say with full confidence that I found her.

    I’m telling this story because if you’ve ever had your heart ripped in two or if you’re in that situation right now, that right person for you is just around the corner. It might take time, but that person has been waiting just as long as you have. You will find that person, or if it’s like my case, they’ll find you.

    Hope everyone has an amazing year

  90. L.... ....

    First song from him I heard showering in the Hilton with a tv on the screen and I legit stopped dead when he sang

  91. K.... S....

    James Arthur feat. Adele, Sam Smith, and Lewis Capaldi would be the best song ever made!

  92. a.... e....

    omg be mine :D

  93. S.... r....

    That feeling "When you want someone you can't have" sums up this song everytime i hear it :(

  94. N.... V....

    Sou sua maior fã james

  95. M.... m....

    I don't know why i pictured the scene to be in a theater where a younger version of the woman is alone playing the piano while singing her song. While james is watching her. Then she sees her again playing in the same theater playing the same song......

  96. S.... L....

    I sang you lots of songs to you..I was just singing to the wrong guy...Theres got to be someone out there that is the right one for me to sing to...Iam waiting for him...🎶🎼🎵🎤

  97. J.... L....

    I love this song, it's a masterpiece, but the funniest thing is that this song is literally about a girl he doesn't even talk to, who he has somehow fallen in love with despite barely even knowing her name, and yet he knows that she has a boyfriend through the grapevine??? Like, the implications of this video is that a girl at the subway started playing a song on the train and he fell head over heels for her even though he's known her for a whole 3 ass minutes and has never talked to her before in his life. Then he hears she has a boyfriend, and despite not knowing any of the intricacies of their relationship or anything about this girl, he wants to kick her bf to the curb and replace him because he thinks he can do better. He spends the rest of the train ride sending telepathic messages about how much he wants to be with this girl he doesn't know the name of and staring at her until he has to get off at his stop.
