When I say that I love you,
It comes out, "Do you feel alright?"
When I say, "I adore you,"
It comes out, "Aren't you such a riot!"
And I wasted so much light
It could light up the night of the city
When I wanna spend time with you,
It comes out, "Won't you tag along?"
When I say how much you mean to me,
You know it always comes out wrong
And I wasted so much light
It could light up the night of the city
A thousand yard stare
Just like I don't care
Just like it means nothing
I knew all along
That soon you'd be gone
My pride would destroy me
Do you feel alright?
Left your coat on the chair
And the liquor we drank
And it's like you're still around
How I wish you were here with me now
And the sound of your voice
Still echoes so sweet
And it's like you're still around
How I wish you were here with me now
Left your coat on the chair
And the liquor we drank
And it's like you're still around
How I wish you were here with me now
And the beauty
Of your gaze
And it burns into my mind
And it lingers all the time
But I love it
Such a free spirit
Wouldn't trap you
But my bed still smells like you
And I don't know what to do
And I miss you
And the beauty
Of your gaze
And it burns into my mind
And it lingers all the time
But I love it
Is he alright? He's seeming so uptight
Kept telling jokes, but the jokes kept getting darker
It's so depressing to see him so distressing
Is he alright? He's seeming so uptight
Cherchez la femme
It's such a shame how he's shifting all the blame
Yet to discover that women owe him nothing
He's taking action from privileged reaction
He's not alright, and he's acting so uptight
Cherchez la femme
Is he alright? He's seeming so uptight
Kept telling jokes, but the jokes kept getting darker
He's taking action from privileged reaction
He's not alright, and he's acting so uptight
Cherchez la femme
He's gone right round the bend
Cherchez la femme

I saw you daydreaming
And just who were you daydreaming about?
And does he have any idea
Just how lucky he is?
And it kills me
That it's not me
How I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie
I would've gone out tonight
But I'll just stay in, whatever that is worth to you
Maybe Stroszek's on TV
Got my Iggy and Joy Division records out
Though you'll see me shine
Like it don't bother me
Though I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie
You reread his messages
The way I do the ones you send to me
And does he understand
All the beauty in his life that could be?
And it kills me
That it's not me
How I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie
