Girl Across the Room

He's got everything I ever wanted
'Cause all I ever wanted was you
He must have known what to say
'Cause God knows I didn't know what to do
Thinking about checking myself into the institution
'Cause I can't get you out of my mind
It's like I'm Leonardo and I'm painting Mona Lisa
But I can't even call her mine

He must have sent you flowers
He must have asked you to dance
From where I stood
He must have done all the things that a good man should

I never thought he was the one you'd end up with
'Cause I thought you would end up with me
I guess I come from the school of love
Where the teacher says it comes for free
But did you know, I still remember when you smiled at me
In front of a big red coffee cup
And I realize we never talked but from what I saw
I thought that we fell in love

But he must have took you out
He must have held your hand
From where I stood
He must have done all the things that a good man should

Yesterday I saw your picture in the paper
Guess you finally went and took his last name, girl
So I'll keep swimming in my sea of fish
But there is always one thing I wish

I probably should have sent you flowers
I probably should have let you in
I probably should have told you, girl
That I love that dress you're wearing
From where I stood
