Well, you say that I treat you like a book on a shelf

I don't take you out that often

'Cause I know that I completed you

And that's why you are here

That's the reason you stay here

How awful that must feel



You said you'd be my dream

I could have you every night

And if by morning I'd forgotten you

Well, no big deal, that'd be all right

'Cause you're the re-occuring kind

You are the re-occuring kind

You never really leave my mind



Are you the love of my lifetime

'Cause there's been times I've had my doubts

We were just kids when I first kissed you

In the attic of my parents' house

And I wish we were there now

I took so long to figure out

What this book has been about



Now I write when I'm away

Letters that you'll never read

You said go explore those other women

The geography of their bodies

But there's just one map you'll need

You're a boomerang you'll see

You will return to me



You will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. (etc.)



Because if you don't then this book's all lies

If you don't then my plans would all be ruined

If you don't, I'll start drinking like the way I drank before

And I just won't have a future anymore
