lyrics

Look at them walking down the street hand in hand
They stop to kiss any time they can
Enjoying all of the stares
From fools who keep tryin’ not to care
Like I did until I met you

Oh I hate people like us
I hate people like us

Yesterday I’d sit at my cafe
Nose in book to block my eyes
From beneath the lamplight outside
Never knowing I’d be the man holding her
Not the one who’s jealous

It’s like those movies on TV late at night
Two lovers colorized from the black and white
The star has big brown eyes and soft pale skin
But I shake my head this could never happen

Look at us in this picture from that booth in the mall
You wear my shirt, I’ve got your glasses
Almost enjoying their stares
But I hope the me I used to be never finds this photo
