I feel like a cat pulling strings

Think I unraveled my mind

I dropped a mouse into the sink just to watch it climb outThen took it to the woods and said you′re free

You'll be living like this for awhile now

You′re free

For awhile now at least

You say Cupid, I say Comet

You say Wallace, I say Gromit

You brought it back when I said

You promised to just call the whole thing off, please

You stay needy, I stay friendless

You stay pristine, I stay pretentious

We'd get married but it's too expensive

Let′s call the whole thing off, please

Oh my God

This ain′t a happening to me

And it's all your fault

Said by popular decree

Possum Queen by law, she′s been building up estates in East L.A

Is this your first time? That's sweet

Say "hello" to looking-forward for me

If I could set your mind at ease

This will last forever

And when it doesn′t, love it for what it is

Don't miss it the way I do

The way I used to

If you love it, love it for what it′s been

Don't miss it

Don't wish it back

Don′t wish it′d last 'cause if it doesn′t

Love it for what it is

Don't miss it the way I do

Don′t miss it

Don't miss it the way I miss you
