If I'm rambling on again Sorry I'm completely stunned It's just I'm in love Every little bit of life Gets a little bit easier You're singing every little bit of mine Feels a little bit queasier And I'm on the outside Hoping you're right Hard being tied in first there who loves you With the prestigious prize of first to be scorned and forgotten You forgot how timid I was when I met you And how much I completely s**ed up to just know you After all this time While you were engaged You were the star on my stage I'm a pigeon on your cage You're the headline on my front page And in your arms I felt uncomfortably secure I had never felt so sure that I was not alone Hard existing knowing I was in love With one who can go on without it The dents in my tin case of armor The notch on your steel plate I'd learn from And now all this time I thought I was forgotten You're the breath through my cotton The stir in my shake The fault in this earthquake The lack of songs I'd sing The pretend in your interest I knew I had witnessed it By the long in your face Unlock the cuff of this briefcase You're the burn without the ash The dad without the mustache The love without the rash The reason for our goodbye The hurt without the cry You're the love I left that you lost The curse without the cross Still strumming the line in and out of key But I love what I want And I know just what I need
