all alone again, the phone forgot to ring   even if it did, i doubt it would be for me   bedside table photographs of you, half smoked cigarettes   remember something too good to be true   and you called me and told me you were home   watching movies with your friends   while i sit by the phone i guess i'll have another cigarette   i guess i'll write another song   if i could be anything i'd be an aeroplane and then i'd fly so far away   500 miles so that you could look at me that way   the ceiling is so lonely when it's all that you can see   lying here on my back thinking of your smile   and the next time you'll show it to me   i can't help being jealous of your room when you're in it all alone   and i can't help being jealous of your friends when you're having fun   and i'm stuck here at home   i took the el today and everything reminded me of you   and i remember how you sat on the stairs   eating popsicles that turned your lips blue   i knew it then i know it now   my favorite dream has come true   i love you so much and i'll never meet another like you.
