lyrics
laura walks in traffic when she sees you
laura remembers your name
she talks about the tunes she's into
you're trying to keep up
a few weeks later she's in love
a few weeks more you've given up
and the only reason is a godsend
i tell my former lovers you're a terrible friend
jasper just wants one more drag
jasper says he'll pay for the cab
he talks about the swimsuit issue
you're just trying to keep up
a few weeks later he's in love
a few weeks more you've given up
he leaves you in the rain
stale cigarettes without your lighter
he's still hoping you'll become
that champion prizefight
and the only reason is a godsend
i tell my former loves you're a terrible friend
yeah i'm lonely on a monday night
coming down from a frightening high
and i'm wishing i could hear you
but i'm afraid of your reply
and the only reason is a godsend
i tell my former lovers you're a terrible friend
