Second Lover

Oh, and when will our heartbeats fall into two lines
And the click-clack of our boot heels beat out the same time
Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?
Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?
And though I don’t know your real name
Your real age, or your shoe size
I will leave this bedroom chair
And this keyboard behind
And I will love you in reality and dreams
And I will love you in reality and dreams
And though it kills me to know
That when we are through
You go to your real lover
Who’ll put real kisses on you
Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do And so this lonely, lonely hull
Has no use left for living
After finding her love
In a heart so unpermitting
And I will die and never ever hold your hand
And I will die and never ever hold your hand
But I’ll kiss my lips and I’ll blow it to you
It’ll be the last thing that I ever do And wherever you go and whatever you do There’s a man underground that will always love you
Oh, wherever you go and whatever you do There’s a man underground that will always love you
Wherever you go and whatever you do There’s a man underground that will always love you
