lyrics

When I'm Not In Love

Listen up everybody, I’ve got something to say
Me, myself and I are going our separate ways
I read all night and I sleep all day
When I’m not in love

I play the clarinet till my cheeks turn blue
I smoke cigarettes and I sniff glue
I sit in church and look at the view
When I’m not in love

Don’t you ever catch a glimpse of yourself
Reaching up for something on the shelf
And think this aint my life?
No, this aint my life

I walk by the river hanging bells on the wind
I drink grapefruit juice and bring the kindling in
I’m going where I’m going and I’ve been where I’ve been
When I’m not in love

The sky in the evening’s turning cherry red
There’s blood in the wine and there’s flesh in the bread
But there’s a chill in my soul and a hole in my bed
When I’m not in love

Don’t you ever say goodbye to a friend
And the moment you’re alone again
Think this aint my life?
No, this aint my life

Don’t you ever get that look in your eye
Thinking how did the stakes get so high?
And this aint my life
No this aint my life

Listen up everybody, I’ve got something to say
Me, myself and I are going our separate ways
I know it’s only a passing phase
When I’m not in love
