Elsewhere Lyrics

For five straight months you know we're never in the same town
And we kiss good night on wires running underneath the ground
For five straight months your graduation holds us in suspense
I used to live in the past, but now I'm living in the future tense
So we wish away two years at a time for a life we may not ever even see
And yes I know you're still in love with me, and you know I still care
But there's lots of looking elsewhere and we both have tired eyes
For five straight days she's struck me with her stunning figure
And I'm so inclined to let temptation go ahead and linger on
And for five straight days he's charmed you with his sense of humor
And you don't seem to mind the loose talk and idle rumors going 'round

So we wish away two years at a time for a life we may not ever even see
And yes I know you're still in love with me, and you know I still care
But there's lots of looking elsewhere and we both have tired eyes

We're both guilty, so there's no point in us pointing fingers at each other
Just another chance to wonder what to do with ourselves next
