Everygirl

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
