38. I don't want to get over you - The Magnetic Fields

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
