Maybe Someday

Maybe, someday
There'll be a girl just like you
Who makes the sunsets worth watching again

And maybe, that day
I'll tell her just how I feel
And I won't repeat the mistake of telling friends

And I bet you told all the boys
That you'd be sending letters
And kept all of their sweaters
And said the days would just get better
And I suppose that acetone
Tastes better down my throat
So go on and grab your coat
I suppose it goes to show

The afternoon will slowly fall apart
And fade into the blackness
And she'll go forth and break in two my heart
Like a masochistic slapstick
And when you fool me the second time around
Shame on me because I've found
That I've become a sucker
And I'll run home back to mother

And I bet you told all the boys
That you'd be sending letters
And kept all of their sweaters
And said the days would just get better
And I suppose that acetone
Tastes better down my throat

Time drags on forever when you're not there
When you're not I just can't bear
The thought I have when you don't occupy my stare
I get to thinking

That I bet you told all the boys
That you'd be sending letters
And kept all of their sweaters
And said the days would just get better
And I suppose that acetone
Tastes better down my throat
So go on and grab your coat
I suppose it goes to show

That on the winding road
When there's hearts involved
There's a winner and a loser too
But right now it doesn't look to me
That the loser is now you
But maybe someday

You'll lose a little too
