I can't seem to say the thing I want to say to you
And make it sound sincere.
I can't write a happy sappy love song
And make it sound cool just like queen
So I guess this will have to do
Because you can't stand I love you's and all that jazz
It's a brand new love song
It's a manic love song
It's a panicked love song for you
I can't write poetry and make it sound so sweet
I'm more of a Bukowski
You're probably into Poe, or Burroghs too
But maybe I should look at your bookshelf
So I guess this will have to do
Because you can't stand I love you's and all that jazz
It's a brand new love song
It's a manic love song
It's a panicked love song for you
I fall asleep thinking of something sweet
I can say to you
But I'm just a fool and you're so cool
We both know what I mean
