lyrics

It doesn't take a rocket scientist
To see that this isn't going anywhere
It's no good to look at me like I look at you
Like you look at something to wear

This morning I'll wake up and see you there
But I'll be looking from far away
And at the breakfast table I'll say something like
What do you think the weather'll do today

So don't look at me with the puppy-eye gaze
Like I'm at the pet store, starting to bend
'Cause I might just want to take you home
And put that same old leash on you again

And I can't do that
No I can't do that
I can't

Who was it that started talking again
I didn't think we'd be here again
And now here I am, opening up for you to see
That there's still a hole shaped like you in me

So I'm gonna wait in the coffeeshop 'til you get here
And I'm gonna say something like
I like to have you near
It's all gonna be fresh and new and good to the taste
But then I'll put you back in that same old place

And I can't do that
No I can't do that
I can't
