...seriously

i think of you in times like these and i wonder
who is it for
is it me or is it you
am i lonely
or just accustomed to your tears
as years go by

nothing's really changed
you're there in everything i do
caught up in the romance
but i have to face the truth that
you were just a superficial step across the line
towards a path that's not for me
but seriously

you're like a long bath, when i only need a shower
you're like a sweet love song
that plays three times an hour
you're like a warm bed
when i want coffee to keep me up all night
which is just to say

nothing's really changed
you're there in everything i do
caught up in the romance
but i have to face the truth that
you were just a superficial step across the line
towards a path that's not for me
but seriously

late november i think of planes to cold suburban towns
in the summer i think of tropics and long hikes
down to hidden coves
where it's too dangerous to bring my guitar

nothing's really changed
you're there in everything i do
caught up in the romance
but i have to face the truth that
you were just a superficial step across the line
towards a path that's not for me
but seriously
yeah

you would include me in everything you'd do
tell me
was that for me
or was that for you
so you wouldn't be alone
i wanted to stay home
and here i am

nothing's really changed
you're there in everything i do
caught up in the romance
but i have to face the truth
i tell myself you were just a superficial step across the line
and you're not for me
not for me
