COLD CHECQUE

You never know you're lonely until you find someone you want to miss
Ride the limo til you figure it's the loser bus for a life like this
Never remind yourself that half the bed is cold
Those nights you do, oh the nights that you do

We fall in love with the lover that's on TV
we fall in love with an image that we can't feel
We fall in love with a singer that we can't see
We fall in love so desperately

You never miss the sex until you accidentally touch the skin
You never miss the warmth until the cartoons on the TV kiss
Never gave a shit until I was reminded
Reality check is cashed and paid out cold

We fall in love with the picture in the magazine
We fall in love but we remain unseen
They never hold us except when we dream
We fall in love so desperately
desperate me
