Girl Across the Room

He's got everything I ever wanted

'Cause all I ever wanted was you

He must have known what to say

'Cause God knows I didn't know what to do

Thinking about checking myself into the institution

'Cause I can't get you out of my mind

It's like I'm Leonardo and I'm painting Mona Lisa

But I can't even call her mine

He must have sent you flowers

He must have asked you to dance

From where I stood

He must have done all the things that a good man should

I never thought he was the one you'd end up with

'Cause I thought you would end up with me

I guess I come from the school of love

Where the teacher says it comes for free

But did you know, I still remember when you smiled at me

In front of a big red coffee cup

And I realize we never talked but from what I saw

I thought that we fell in love

But he must have took you out

He must have held your hand

From where I stood

He must have done all the things that a good man should

Yesterday I saw your picture in the paper

Guess you finally went and took his last name, girl

So I'll keep swimming in my sea of fish

But there is always one thing I wish

I probably should have sent you flowers

I probably should have let you in

I probably should have told you, girl

That I love that dress you're wearing

From where I stood
