lyrics

my only love i’ve never seen

waiting in the megastore
for Wes to get his ass in gear
and get down here from Penn Station
to Union Square

first halfway decent day
in a string of shitty weeks
following shitty months
other than that
it’s been a stellar year

and i’m listening to “Title and Registration”
remembering the Siren Fest
how i looked for you
in the biggest crowd of all

wondering if you sittin’
up above the fence with Lesley
or in a perfect world
i would’ve bumped into you
and turned into stone

that’s nostalgia
oh, what does it mean?
get outta’ the kitchen
if ya can’t stand the heat
my only love i’ve
never seen

the day i left Bowling Green i cried
ripping posters from the wall
listening to the Vines
i told you
on our last phone call

never shoulda’ called you from Beijing
i never shoulda’ done a lot of things
come to New York three years earlier
how could i have known?
you never said “ed, don’t go”
you wouldn’t stand in my way

i will always wonder
what it woulda’ been like
if you said “stay”
and i
stayed
