I remember times when I was younger Thought about it every single day Thinking how I'm only getting older And I been spending time the lonely way Oh and is there really nothing I can say? Maybe there is someone I should be Quit relying on the natural order I'll find myself a new philosophy Maybe find myself a new philosophy And I was thinking while standing on the corner To use a public phone I gotta pay The day I find someone who's worth my quarter I was thinking that'll be the day I remember thinking that'll be the day Oh but then came you A face to call my home A testimony to the thoughts that make up who I am They say time's the test of all that's true
You're the living proof You got what I wish I had And I'd been dreaming of a dreamy-looking fun girl I thought about her every single day And I was living with an ever-present hunger And it just wouldn't go away Oh and there was really nothing I could say Yeah and there was nothing I could eat I wrote it off as an obsessional disorder She was someone I was never gonna meet Yeah she was someone I was never gonna meet Oh but then came you A face to call my home A testimony to the thoughts that make up who I am They say time's the test of all that's true You're the living proof You got what I wish I had
