I get lost, messed up and bored
When I'm alone too long
I can't sleep, function and eat
When I'm not with someoneLate last fall she ended it all
And moved to who knows where
Just like that she vanished and packed
And never even calledDo you feel a certain sense of synergy
Between yourself and me?
A kind of macabre and somber
Wonder twin type of harmonyWhat if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Kicking and screaming
And pretending we were wrongLet's get wrecked on Pop-Tarts and sex
And see the Taj Mahal
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound
And skateboard through the mallLet's fight crime with mangoes and limes
And join the PGA
Let's win big with every spin
But hurry I can't waitDo you spend a fortune on those late night
Prepaid television scams
In search of the perfect blender
Steak knife and nonstick frying pan?What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Thinking we were completely wrongIt seemed like a dream
A beautiful scream
That echoed forever
And made us not afraid to feel a thingAnd after it ends
We'll try to be friends
They say that what doesn't kill us
Makes us who we areAll this time and every thing's changed
But I still feel the same
All good things eventually end
And get washed down the drainWhat a disaster it would be
If you discovered that I cared
A little too much for friends
But not enough to shareWhat if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Now that I'm sure that I was wrongIt had to be you
It had to be you
It had to be you
I knew it was you
