Everclear – Thrift Store Chair lyrics

Album: Songs From An American Movie-Vol. 1: Learning How To Smile

This is gonna sound
a little obsessive
This is gonna sound
a little bit strange
I have one thing to say
Before I turn and I walk away
This is gonna sound
a little impulsive
This is gonna sound
a little insane
I know you don't know me yet
But you and I
We will be together
Someday
Someday...

I know...I know...I sound
Like I'm on drugs
But listen to me now
When I say...

That ever since when I first saw you
Sitting on your car outside
You asked for a cigarette
I couldn't stop staring
At your eyes

Ever since when I first saw you
Looking bored in that plastic chair
With the lights of the office
Around you
Those blond streaks
They look so pretty
In your black hair

You look cool and alternative
With that disaffected stare
You want people to think
That you just don't care

Hey you can be with me
'cause I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're perfect
Who will always make you come

You can be with me
I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your
unemployed boyfriend

This is gonna sound
a little bit out there
This is gonna sound
a little insane
But I keep having the same dream
That you will
Be the mother of my children
Someday

Someday...

I heard you sleep with that
obnoxious guy
I know he is in that famous band
You look so sad when you
are with him
I never see him reach
to hold your hand

You can be with me
Yes I will treat you like a queen
I will go to all those
chick flick movies
That I really don't want to see

You can be with me
No I will never let you down
I will never make out
with your girlfriend
When I know you're not around

You can be with me
Yeah I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're special
I will always make you come

You can be with me
I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be like those other guys!
I will never be your
unemployed boyfriend
