Vicariously Lyrics

I'd like to claim as my own all these thoughts in my head
But I stole them from every film that I've seen and all the books that I've read
There might be something for real in maybe some of these lines
But most of it's here for the way that it sounds and the fact that it rhymes
So why live a life when you can live it for me?
I'll spend my time vicariously

I have not been in love so I could hardly fall out
It's just one more part of this whole human nature I know nothing about
Oh, I get no buzz from the bees and the birds
So I'm forced to imagine what it must be like from the things that I've heard
So why live a life when you can live it for me?
I'll spend my time vicariously

It's just the way that I am
You may not understand
But I like the experience more if it comes second-hand

So why live a life when you can live it for me?
I'll spend my time vicariously
Yeah, I'll spend my time vicariously
