your absence makes me cold
and it makes me really tired
but not enough to stay in
and it makes me want to chain smoke like bob dylan
but it's never enough to calm me down

everything that goes makes me a little older
and everything you say makes me a little wetter
and all the things I imagine us doing makes me know that
momma wouldn't be proud

your absence means my nights have more chance of being lonely
and when you aren’t around I look for other entertainment

I used to be so interesting, and interested
but now you just
you just stay for a couple hours
and then i’m older
and i'm colder
and I’ve never been wetter
(sorry momma)

but when you aren't around i can't help myself
i look for other entertainment

but can’t we try harder
I wanna be younger
when people didn’t give up so easily
because people didn’t love so easily
and no one was losing easily

well i must be getting older
cause
you never looked so boring to me
ya i must be getting older
cause
even television bores me

i'm looking for other entertainment
