So if you're crazy, I don't care you amaze me
I think about the things that I want to do
But none of them can make me worthy of you
I convince myself that I'm just biding my time
With every stanza and every lilting line
I think of all the things that remind me of you
Throw'em on the burner and allow them to stew
See if I can leave your lovely image behind
But I can't seem to get you off of my mind
With every love song reminding me of my gag reflex
Sick with a love that leaves all my thoughts a mess
Mixing my sight with curls of red and waves of green
Quick retrospective doesn't know what that means
It's all futile anyway when I give it some thought
Since it's a known fact someone else is sharing your cot
But though I've given up I haven't shaken this love
A cardiac cancer causing me to cough up some blood
The taste of it proof that I'm still a human being
That I still have a heart and it's still beating
I'd almost forgot but like an angel from above
Reminding me there's still a reason to believe in love
In every pretty tune the radio is playing for me
In every drunken picture your friends post for all to see
In every memory you and I share that I can retain
In every word you spoke and every word you sang
The thought of you so beautiful and crass
And I'm shamed to admit, you've got a nice ass
But being realistic, romance and perversion can go hand in hand
When it's all intertwined it's all better than His master plan
I wonder if you'll think less of me for admitting the truth
When it comes the time you discover this is all about you
When you discover you're all I've ever been about
For as long as I can remember, ever since you've been found
Too much for one song, I've written 22 albums on you
Scarily obsessive some might construe
But I think too much and have to write it all down
You've given me so much to work with but I can't perfect your sound
Sometimes it gets hard for me to memorize it all
And I'll even admit the heat sometimes cools to a crawl
But every time you come back into focus you rev me up again
Even if I tried, yours is a face that I can never forget
No matter the distance thrown between us at the forks in our roads
You've always been my dear friend whom I could never let go
No matter the time between our chats or a drink at the bar
I've come to accept that I'll never shake this love and get very far
Before I turn back and adopt it back into my life
And then I'll wonder why I ever thought to let it go that night
You've always had a knack of being honest with me
And you've treated me with a kindness no other's conceived
A patient ear for all of my repetitious rambling
An empathy that could cut to the core of my very being
I can't understand how someone like you exists
To have your heart mirror mine would prove the highest of bliss
But what I do understand is you'd rather not have this
A notion I'll respect if it's what you truly wish
So long as you remain a dear friend of mine
That's all I've ever needed, with that I'll do fine
And while no other woman can hold a candle to you
I guess I'll have to accept a broken heart or two
Until that one comes along that can help me forget
But half a decade running has met with minimal success
So I'll bury myself in my music and hope it keeps me busy
A comfort zone if there ever was since you're way too pretty
I can lie to myself and believe rock & roll can change minds
Allow me a larger role in the cast of your life
Yeah, I know I'm pathetic and showing off a weaker side
I hope you know such a display is a huge wound on my pride
But I can't seem to get you out of my head
When your beautiful image bleeds through the tip of my pen
In almost every line I've written about love
And the consequences resultant, within, thereof
Loving you would be easy if given the chance
You're such a beautiful girl who should be made aware of just how wonderful she is
....
Yeah, whatever.
But none of them can make me worthy of you
