Substitute |
| The first girl that I fell for was a fair and faithful fighter |
| She smoldered with her will to save the world |
| I did my best to help her, yeah, I stood shoulder to shoulder |
| On the front lines with my visionary girl |
| I wish that she had cared for me |
| But in the end her ideologies |
| Occupied the fortress of her heart |
| I wrote her fifteen songs, but still we had to part |
| And if music was the food of love |
| Then I’d be a fat romantic slob |
| Well music, it’s my substitute for love |
| The last girl that I loved, she was a low and lusty liar |
| She set my heart on fire, but made me choke |
| Her beauty was a sight to see, but she didn’t save it all for me |
| I found other fires by following the smoke |
| I wish that she had either cared for me or let me be |
| But she chased me from my mind and from my home |
| I wrote her sixteen songs, but I ended up alone |
| And if love is really all that we need |
| Then even all my singing is never gonna save me |
| Music, it’s my substitute for love |
| Well I’ve had many different girls inside my bed |
| But only one or two inside my head |
| These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead |
| But oh, what I would give |
| Not to stumble, but to really fall in love |
| And I could substitute my singing for the sound of someone sleeping next to me |
