Television Mister

He wore a knee length leather jacket and smoke ran through his curly hair
He locked eyes on me
At ten am he sparked a light
For his morning drink he was early
He parked himself upon a bench, began his morning daydream
He was everything I wanted
Everything I wanted and more

He stumbled up his apartment steps and struggled with his door key
The kettle whistled and I realised, he's what I did adore
He said the room was icy
I couldn't really tell

Fell in love with a man who lives in pictures
I wish that I could join him he's my television mister
Fell in love with a man who lives in pictures
I wish that I could join him he's my television mister
Oh yeah yeah yeah

So we drove out to the country and we rolled around in mud
You listened to my records and you said they sounded good
He was everything I dreamed of
Everything I dreamed of and more

Imagine if a guy like you could really exist
Instead of boys who cannot fill the shoes of men made out of scripts

Fell in love with a man who lives in pictures
I wish that I could join him he's my television mister
Fell in love with a man who lives in pictures
I wish that I could join him he's my television mister
Oh yeah yeah
I wish that I could join him he's my television mister oh yeah
Oh yeah yeah
I wish that I could join him he's my television mister oh yeah

I remember when you called me and you asked me out for coffee
We parked ourselves upon a bench
You smiled because you missed me
You were everything that he was
My television mister for real
For real

Fell in love with a man who lives in pictures
I wish that I could join him he's my television mister mmhmm
