08 What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Here we are again

Exchanging fluids

And Exchanging made up numbers

Temporarily tattooed on the backs of our hands

With a biro the bar tender lent us

Never intending to see if the numbers really add up

Intending to avoid the disappointment of knowing

Preferring the myth of a missed opportunity

A could’ve been, should’ve been, would’ve been

Something oh-so-special

What’s wrong with this picture?

There’s no movie magic

What’s wrong – no rom com

What’s wrong with this picture?

Just a pessimistic, tragic, non-rom-com song

Here we go again, jumping whenever the phone rings

And dreading an unkown number

Secretly hoping but admitting to no one

Especially ourselves

We’re stronger than that, aren’t we?

We’d never expose that much frailty

We watch our own backs, using two mirrors

Intending to avoid the disappointment of knowing

Preferring the myth of a missed opportunity

A could’ve been, should’ve been, would’ve been

Something oh-so-special

What’s wrong with this picture?

There’s no movie magic

What’s wrong – no rom com

What’s wrong with this picture?

Where’s the optimistic, addicting….

Rom-com song gone wrong?
