Dog-Eared Page

I'm just a dog-eared page you turn back to.

Where's the place for me

when we're both in love with you?



I can't escape these friends

I've made since you left town

They throw redundant parties

where I'm too often found.

And while I sit and watch girls and boys

trade views of new tattoos,

I wonder if it's too late to call your mom

and catch up on some news.

She says you'll be home soon for me--



And it'll be just like you were never gone.

I'll try to be just some guy you're getting on.

But basically, we're both in love with you.

I'm just a dog-eared page you turn back to.

Where's the place for me,

when we're both in love with you?



I've got these "friends" in quotes

and girls* with asterisks.

I watch the time wither

and fall from my wrist.

Out on the porch Van Morrison

is bleeding through the walls.

I don't think your roommate

has been writing down my calls.

She says you'll be home soon for me--



And it'll be just like you were never gone.

I'll try to be just some guy you're getting on.

But basically, we're both in love with you.

I'm just a dog-eared page you turn back to.

when we're both in love with you?



You said the distance

Would make a difference

But it didn't.



It'll be just like you were never gone.

I'll try to be just some guy you're getting on.

But you and me, we're both in love with you.

I'm just a dog-eared page you turn back to.
