From Across the Room - Dropout Year

And so I see you from across the room,

With a guy that looks just like I do,

Maybe he will be reminding you of me.

I’ve been replaced,

By a new name and face,

That looks just like the one that you’ve been trying to erase.

Does he care the way that I did once,

I know you don’t but part of me still does,

He had my qualities,

My personality,

Are you seeing in him now what you first saw in me?

He has what I had and I want that,

Back by my side,

With your hand held in mine,

I can’t just sit back and relax,

Knowing that we can’t just rewind for just a moment in time.

And there’s a difference between what was said,

And what is really meant,

And he is saying what it takes,

Only to get you in his bed.

Does he care the way that I did once,

I know you don’t but part of me still does,

He had my qualities,

My personality,

Are you seeing in him now what you first saw in me?

He has what I had and I want that,

Back by my side,

With your hand held in mine,

I can’t just sit back and relax,

Knowing that we can’t just rewind for a moment in time.

If he’s everything you want,

Cause he’s everything I’m not,

Take a look at what you lost,

Cause that’s everything you’ve got,

Is he everything you want,

Cause he’s everything I’m not,

Take a look at what you lost,

Cause that’s everything you’ve got,

Is he everything you want,

Cause he’s everything I’m not,

Take a look at what you lost,

Cause that’s everything you’ve got,

Is he everything you want,

Cause he’s everything I’m not,

Take a look at what you lost,

Cause that’s everything you’ve got.
