lyrics

We met through a mutual friend
After one conversation
She saw who I am
A drop-out with no plan
A loser not fitting in
Probably should have ran
She didn't stick up her nose
We talked but never got close
It's just a moment that shows
One of life's little knacks
Reminding you to look back
On what you'll never have

'Cause she's got plans, people to meet
I've got time to kill and a couch to sleep
Dreaming of what will never be
She deserves much more than me
Whoever I pretend to be
On the last bus back to reality

If I could turn it around
Get a job or my band off the ground
Clean up and put the pills down
Maybe I could get her attention
As someone more than a friend
Just anything good enough
But is it all a lost cause?
To try forget who I was?
Another story of a hopeless underdog
Maybe it's just destiny
She'll be a writer, and me
Lucky to amount to anything

She's got plans, people to meet
I've got time to kill and a couch to sleep
Dreaming of what will never be
She deserves much more than me
Whoever I pretend to be
On the last bus back to reality

She's got plans, a name to make
I've got a guitar and a life to waste
Singing about heartbreak
I don't wanna take her time
So this goes out to the lucky guy
I hope you'll treat her right
I hope you'll treat her right
