I was having one of those days so I thought I'd call you up
You'd come over and we'd have some drinks at our favorite bar
We'd lay in bed and talk things over
You would do your best Italian accent
I'd make a dumb dry joke
But all I got was your voicemail
I've been thinking about leaving this city
And if I left by plane would you call in a bomb threat
And then show up at the airport?
And if I left by car would you put a spike strip
In the road and then meet me in the hospital?
I've got nowhere left to go.
So I walked down to the beach but it just reminded me of you
Sandwiches, lightning and waves
So i thought I'd call you up
Invite you to our restaurant,
I know they don't call it Green Temple for nothing
But hey, dinner is on me
But all I got was your voicemail
I've been thinking about leaving this city
And if I left by plane would you call in a bomb threat
And then meet me at the airport?
And if I left by car would you put a spike strip
In the road and then meet me in the hospital?
I've got nowhere left to go.
So I thought of that dude that you are kind of not seeing,
Kind of, really not
And I thought about how you always wanted to see me
Punch someone out for you
So I walked home in the middle of the street and hoped
Someone would put me out of my misery
But all the drivers just swerved around me
And called me a jackass
I've been thinking about leaving this city
And if I left by plane would you call in a bomb threat
And then meet me at the airport?
And if I left by car would you put a spike strip
In the road and then meet me in the hospital?
I've got nowhere left to go.
