So you finally found what you're looking for
a talented actress working part time at the drug store
across the street, where it's impossible not to meet
there's another one just next door
with shameless eyes, she's nothing but cheekbones
but she's pretty young
I won't last that long
my life is a pick and choose
it's a second rate candy store
I've had a taste of almost everything
but the flavor don't last for long
so you move on
I've seen them come and go
I take pride in the things I own
the books in my shelf, the records piled up against the wall
they're my own, I know each and every one
I've got friends with the sweetest wives, they've got beautiful kids
they've got meaningful lives - in the suburbs, just out of town
love is all around
I'd be happy to join them soon, buy a house and build up a home
and if I'm lucky I'll have kids I can call my own
just to see them grow, to see them come and go
just to see them grow, to see them come and go
This one girl thought highly of me
said she didn't expect me to be so smart, have a heart
in fact she didn't expect it at all
I used to long for those pretty eyes
until they spotted a friend of mine
with a job and a suit, he's got a record collection too
My life is a practical joke that you can't repeat
if you've seen it once, you've seen pretty much what there is to see
so you move on
I've seen them come and go
