Our friends are taking bets on how long we'll last Three, four dates at the most The winner gets a Coke I am the substitute teacher of your heart I am an extra playing John Travolta's part I am your rebound man I'm doing what I can to smooth your transition to someone much better I am your on-off switch The temporary fix I tried to hold your hand you brushed me away Sitting in a movie making out of obligation Your tongue fulfilling an unpleasant clause In a reluctantly signed contract You're the kinda girl I wanna sit on a trophy case The kinda girl I wanna add to a list I wanna ride you like an airport travellator I don't really have to but why the hell not Cause I don't wanna walk this corridor alone without help We all gotta haul our baggage till our next flight turns up, and I'll be your rebound man I'm doing what I can to smooth your transition to someone much better I am your on-off switch The temporary fix I'll bounce off you if you bounce off me
