lyrics

You won’t think of me when you’re in bad company
and I won’t think of you when I’ve got nothing to do.

You won’t think of me alone on a drive in the country
and I won’t think of you when I’m paddling both oars of my canoe.

You won’t think of me when you find my brand of tea in your pantry
and I won’t think of you when I make piecrust, which you taught me how to do.


A chemical attraction. A pheremonal case
A current to strong to let pass.
A chemical reaction. I’m an acid, you’re a base,
when we mix we just turn into poison gas.


You won’t think of me when you finally run out of all your money
and I won’t think of you when I’m stranded in the backstreets of Peru.

You won’t think of me in the mountains, in the desert, by the sea
and I won’t think of you when I pass that one place we went for fondue.

You won’t think of me because I’m not the type to let things get messy
and I won’t think of you because thank god we never got that tattoo.


A logical progression. A sentimental fool.
We opened our chests way too fast.
The wisdom of reflection. No exception to the rule.
Everything we start we know someday must pass.


You won’t think of me when you’re in good company
and I won’t think of you when I’ve got much more important shit to do.

You won’t think of me prolly ever cause you’re so mentally healthy
and I won’t think of you cause I’m learning meditation and kung fu.

You won’t think of me when you meet an artsy girl named Taggarty,
and I won’t think of you when Mom asks if I’ve met anybody new.
