Well I've been jumping in the eyes of each girl that walks by But I don't get the time of day And the smile wrinkle lines each side of my eyes Have lately faded away Well maybe they smell my desperate stink Or maybe they hear the dark thoughts that I think They stay on their paths either way
I'm far too lonely to take a lover I'd hate myself for wanting too much from her But I'll never last like this I'll never last like this
I'm wandering streets on these black and blue feet In search of a ghost in this dusty old town The suns arc is leaning making way for the evening It's quick to rise and quicker to fall down Giving way to the nightlife and the siren song love lights Who make lonely men smile and then frown
I'm far too lonely to take a lover I'd hate myself for wanting too much from her But I'll never last like this I'll never last like this
I only am looking for everything I only am asking for everything
Far too lonely to take a lover I'd hate myself for wanting too much from her Confidence, confidence is all that she'll want from me But I can't give that 'cause then I would be lying I know it's not too late, but it sure ain't too early And each day I don't find her I'm more mad and surly She's got to exist or I would not have pictured her
Well maybe I'm holding out for nothing But I'll hold out forever Forever but I'll never last like this I'll never last like this I'll never last like this
