You Weren't Even Listening Lyrics

You stole my eyes in a foreign gaze

Across the room in a smitten face

I'd never seen such as you before

I tucked my tail between my legs

And I let you know

Hell, I was hurting

I bit my tongue, I'm one for talking

I filled the quiet with ease and maundering

An endless night, the time had passed me by

And I flung my shot into the dark

Oh, the way you stalled

My dearly departed

I hung a while in your head

It's getting lonely

In your conditions

But, it's finally kicking in

I already knew what I know now

The heart, it opts in anyhow

But I saw in the end

Crestfallen, as I laid your hand down

Looked just like I see it now

My head fell diving in a free fall

Freewill kept me around

And that's always how the end goes

When you're heartbroken in the middle

And see, when you met your wife

I met my fate

3 happy people in different ways

And that's all I'll get to tell you

In a letter I'll mail out

But thank god the sky is pouring down

I can't step outside

There's an accident downtown

Oh well, I'll see you someday

When it's sunny out

My love, you're just the wind now

That tails back as I drive out

I'll keep a distance

Such a shame, when since

I loved what I had found

I already knew what I know now

The heart, it chooses anyhow

But I saw in the end

Crestfallen, as I laid my guard down

Looked just like I see it now

Your mind is a two story house

Where the top door's latched with a lock

No keys on the floor

I'm hitching a ride

You're hitching a bride

Two kids by 25

And what's in it for me? 


My entire life, honey

I can't see it now

But, it's coming up

See, I'm rambling darling

But you weren't even listening

You weren't even listening

You weren't listening

You weren't even listening
