Guys with Guitars - Alev Lenz

Guys with guitars

At open mic bars

Are so much better than guys with skateboards

So much better than guys with books

Guys with guitars sing over and over

The same things that keep me awake at night

Guys with guitars

They listen to my songs

Sing a song for me, don’t be horrible

I’ll sing a song for you if you don’t think it’s terrible

Let’s go home, we don’t understand

What tomorrow’s about anyway

Write me a song

And I’ll sing along

You won’t marry me, I won’t marry you

But at least, tonight, we can pretend we’ll do

And then we will write a song

People will sing along

How he wouldn’t marry her, she wouldn’t marry him

And the next day she’ll fall in love with another

Guy with a guitar

At an open mic bar

With a bursting heart just like her

And a hungry soul always searching for more

Guys with guitars

Sing over and over

The same line that I don’t understand

And together we don’t understand it

Together we don’t understand it better

Sing a song for me, don’t be horrible

I’ll sing a song for you if you won’t think it’s terrible

Let’s go home, we don’t understand

What tomorrow’s about anyway

Write me a song

And I’ll sing along

You won’t marry me, I won’t marry you

But at least, tonight, we can pretend we’ll do

And then we will write a song

People will sing along

How he wouldn’t marry her, she wouldn’t marry him

And the next day she’ll fall in love with another guy…

'Cause she’s in love with life

And another guy…

'Cause she’s in love with life

And another

Guy with a guitar

At an open mic bar

With a bursting heart, just like her

And a hungry soul always searching for more
