For high school exes and a young Daniel Day-Lewis

lyrics

I'd have loved to be by your side
When you won your first academy award
And I'd have stayed
For your second, third, your fourth that never came
So long as you didn't get too bored of me
I'd stay until you dies I'd take your name
Lemme be your muse, baby,
Tell me why you're so confused, baby,
Said you saw a ghost onstage
So go audition for some other plays
The Thames is nice tonight, though I wish it were the Liffey,
But when the city lights it up
I've gotta say the river looks pretty

And I'm not ready to go home yet, so

Call me Rebecca and take me back to your place
I'd love to see the way the lamplight hits your lovely little face
Pour me some wine and let me fall asleep by your side

I didn't even notice when the lilacs died
I got so wrapped up in my pity, in my loneliness and pride
So I'd just hide myself away and watch another of your movies
Covered in chip crumbs and smelling of smoke,
Oh, what a pity, what a joke this night outside has come to be
I made myself so pretty and all she seems to see
Are the ways she could get killed in this comically small city
And the bugs on the bank of the river

And if this is as good as it's ever gonna get, won't you

Call me Rebecca and take me back to your place
I'd love to see the way the lamplight hits your lovely little face
Pour me some wine and let me fall asleep by your side

By your side

Oh, won't you
Call me Rebecca and take me back to your place
I'd love to see the way the lamplight hits your lovely little face
Pour me some wine and let me fall asleep by your side
