I saw you in the park, reading books
On How to start a relationship;
When you find someone new
Nearly bit off my tongue
Trying to hold the words from coming out wrong
And disappointing you
But you go out
And you leave me mascara
Hides the shame on your face
What if the wind catches your perfume?
Close the shutters of my bedroom in case
Would you remember me?
When you're thirty-three
As more than just a little fun
You see, I don't want to be
Just a memory
But I know I'll never be your one
Cause the time, wasn't right
For you and me
In my mind
It's not quite, the way
You thought it would be
Caught a cab
For my broken-heart
Gave the driver, my credit card
And said Don't stop till the black turns to dusk.
Oh the smoke, from your photograph
To inhale or (it ought to pa**?)
But the whole thing burns to noth (nut?)
But you go out in the evenings
Mascara hides the shame on your face
What if the wind catches your perfume?
Close the shutters of my bedroom in case
Would you remember me?
When you're thirty-three
As more than just a little fun
You see, I don't want to be
Just a memory
But I know I'll never be your one
Cause the time, wasn't right
For you and me
In my mind
It's not quite, the way
I thought it would be
*instrumental part*
Would you remember me?
When you're thirty-three
As more than just a little fun
You see, I don't want to be
Just a memory
When I know I'll never be your one
Cause the time, wasn't right
For you and me
In my mind
It's not quite, the way
You thought it would be
