lyrics

It was about this time last year
Fell for the girl with the oversized ear
She said, with you I feel so lovely
So suburban
So complementary
So old and ordinary

It was about the time you said goodbye
I felt the swelling of a tear within my eye
I said "Only a fool would leave me lonely"
So tired and hungry
So old and ordinary

I’d said I want to make love to you
But you think it sounds so American
And everything American sounds cheap.
I don’t want to sound cheap

But we still sing to Dylan
And we still sing to Dalton
We still sing to Sam Beam
And we still sing to Springsteen

Let’s never mention
All those things that were never meant to happen

I miss the sound of my name
Whispered in passion
All the names only you have for a lover
You say sing Dylan
While you slave but I just get bored
Guess I shouldn’t expect anymore
Anymore
