lyrics

I identify, and at the same time
I try to justify this type of life
This isn’t Hollywood, but it’s plain to see that
If I could I would take the next plane home.

My old television is full of bad news
The weekend papers are just the same
Turn up the radio but it’s always your song
I buy a new stereo, hear the same sad tune.

Try me, cry with me, just don’t lie to me
Red light is your right, and I know
Love me, hate me, just don’t leave me
While I’m guessing, caressing the very thought of you.

Tomorrow is a memory of you and I
Sitting on the couch together drinking wine
Hoping for Hollywood, Ben Kweller playing
You and your sundress faded away.

Try me, cry with me, just don’t lie to me
Red light is your right, and I know
Love me, hate me, just don’t leave me
While I’m guessing, caressing the very thought of you.
