Look through the classifieds, maybe I'll find a friend who cares
|
(Decent and true, but my interests are few)
|
How would I reply? Start with "I've never done this before"
|
|
And all the chains that bind, you might find they're just threads that float around
|
It's fun to fantasize through someone else's eyes
|
|
Every week, I read the advertisements from start to end
|
(Stable, mature, but a little unsure)
|
What I am I looking for? #340's in here again
|
|
Like the characters portrayed in a play no one ever stops to read
|
I have to say that this all seems strange to me
|
It's not that different from my life
|
Condense it down into five lines
|
Now I know the reason why these ads all look alike
|
|
How can anyone describe who they are in a page or less?
|
(Desperately looking for someone, I guess)
|
But when the morning comes, both of you will be scratching your heads
|
|
In the aftermath, head to the bathroom to straighten up and then
|
You realize you forgot your toothbrush again
|
|
And what you saw in those five lines:
|
Did it materialize?
|
Now you know the reason why that one's in there every time
|
|
Look through the classifieds
|
Who's in the classifieds?
|
I'm through with the classifieds
