Do you still feel younger
than you thought you would by now
Or darling have you started feeling old yet?
Don’t worry I’m sure you’re still
breaking hearts with the efficiency
that only youth can harness
And do you still think love is a laserquest
Or do you take it all more seriously?
I’ve tried to ask you this in some daydreams
that I’ve had but you’re always busy
being make believe
And do you look in the mirror
to remind yourself you’re there
Or has somebody’s goodnight kisses
got that covered?
When I’m not being honest
I pretend that you were just some lover
Now I can’t think of there
without thinking of you
I doubt that comes as a surprise
And I can’t think of anything to dream about
I can’t find anywhere to hide
And when I’m hanging on by the rings
around my eyes
And I convince myself I need another
For a minute it gets easier
to pretend that you were just some lover
When I’m pipe and slippers and rocking chair
Singing dreadful songs about summer
Will I have found a better method
of pretending you were just some lover?
