wait for me

Somewhere over future's sea
I imagine that you wait for me,
Sifting through your thoughts on men,
Waiting for just one of them
Who rocks a little more than others,
Smells like safety, likes your mother,
Looks a little like Brad Pitt
(but isn't quite as full of it),
To come along and win your heart,
And make your dearest dreams to start.
Oh wondrous love, the sweetest bliss,
The prettiest rose, the tend'rest kiss,
The foulest sadness when he leaves
And says it wasn't meant to be.
Bastard. But hey, now he's gone,
You're left feeling all alone,
And I'm a sort of decent guy,
Who'd love to take his turn to try
To tell you that you're pretty sweet,
And that I think you're kinda neat.
I reckon you might think it's cool
To try to like a crazy fool,
So we could date (and keep things wholesome)
And see if us two could be awesome.
That's what I imagine, sweet,
About the way that we would meet,
It prob'ly won't be quite like that,
But come whatever, you'll be rad.
