lyrics

Three thousand TV channels
Won’t keep me occupied
Because when I’m on the couch
I’m obsessing over what I could’ve done to keep you satisfied

You’re over things so quickly
You don’t play the fool
That fills my heart with so much envy
That has kept me from keeping my cool

Because I see you walking
Then I start talking
To myself again
I know when it comes to you I’ll never win

I’ve heard that exercise
Will keep sadness at bay
But I drank my protein shake
And I was coming up with fantasies to get you back someday

Why do I have to miss out
On all your joy and pain
That is the biggest disappointment
That has kept me from remaining sane

I don’t feel right
When things aren’t certain
I need assurance desperately
I hope I return to normalcy
Oh, can’t you see me losing
Everything I love so dearly

I’ll spend eternity
In my freezing living room
‘Cause if I go to Trader Joe’s
It’s a certainty that I’m gonna go and bump right into you

I need a new location
A different grocery store
I’m haunted everytime I go out
Paranoid walking out the front door

“I love My Boyfriend. They’re normal-core mutants from an imaginary 1960s: in which the Beatles took lots of antidepressants that didn't work or an imaginary ’80s in which Jonathan Richman only ever listened to The 5th Dimension and early Philly Soul records.”
