lyrics

Knew all the words to Nemo
Saw the re-release in IMAX
Nostalgia makes you cute, but
Let's see if it's ever made somebody climax.

And on the long ride home
I think I realized
As I saw the look
In her sad, sad eyes;

I'll never make you swoon
I'll never make you swoon
As much as I'd love to,
Well, I'll never make you.

And just to know you can still live your life
Well my misery is inescapable
I find you so appealing
And I think you must find me so goddamn replaceable.

And on the long ride home...

She said "Oh, get some rest.
"You're just tired and you're not making sense.
"Oh, get some rest."
As if I could sleep on a night like this.

She said "We've all got problems, you know."
As she turned the light out one last time
If I spent as much time with her
As I did with my thoughts, maybe she'd still be mine.

And on the long ride home...
