The Magnetic Fields - I Don't Want To Get Over You (z albumu 69 Love Songs)

I don't want to get over you.
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
and sleep at will
and not have to go through
what I go through.

I guess I should take Prozac, right,
and just smile all night
at somebody new,
Somebody not too bright
but sweet and kind
who would try to get you off my mind.

I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do
if I wanted to,
but I don't want to get over you
cause I don't want to get over love.

I could listen to my therapist,
pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream
of what I dream of;

I could listen to all my friends
and go out again
and pretend it's enough,
or I could make a career
of being blue--
I could dress in black
and read Camus,
smoke clove cigarettes
and drink vermouth
like I was 17
that would be a scream
but I don't want to get over you.
