It's not easy to be debonair
While sprawled out in the street
But it brings back many memories
And they're pelting me like sleet
Do you remember when I spoke to you
And the words came out like superglue

I didn't really think so
'Cause you already said so
Our pace was always too slow
It was my mistake

And the horrid truths of loneliness
Are in full force today
I've been hiding out for oh so long
My black jeans have turned grey
Do you remember all the poems I wrote
When I hid inside my overcoat

I didn't really think so
'Cause you already said so
Our pace was always too slow
It was my mistake

I never meant to frighten you
Its funny how things are
I can't tell which way is up
But I'm wishing on the stars
Do you remember when you laughed at me
And you held my head beneath the sea

I didn't really think so
'Cause you already said so
Our pace was always too slow
It was my mistake
It was my mistake
It was my mistake
