You Again

I’m standing on a chair
In the middle of a very nice room
Changing a light bulb
And I haven't thought about you for weeks and weeks
And I'm still not
And life is delightful
Then the telephone rings and the caller ID says you

So I pick up the phone and
I say hello
When all I'm really thinking is
"Oh my God, it's you again"
And I draw a sharp breath and make an involuntary noise
And I hear you laughing
at the other end
And you say "Are you okay?
And is hello
All you really wanna say?"
(and I said)

Oh My God it's you again
I never changed my lock
I never changed my number
Never changed my mind
Never thought I'd
See you again
I wanna turn back time
And just pretend
Wish I could fall head over heels
For you again

So I pull up a chair
And I light a cigarette
And you say
"Do you remember..."
And we talk for hours
Of rapture and regret
And rainbow comets and embers
There's a chemical science
To the digital silence
of your cell phone

So I hang up thinking 'bout
You and me and the fireflies
That's dangerous country
And I try to remember
One thing that I hate about you
And that still leaves me wonderin'
'Cause all I can remember
Is your smile and
Your swimming pool eyes

Three days later you're
In my house
And three days later you're
In my bed
And three days later you're
Still not crazy
Three days later I'm in love again
My head and my heart
Have a duel every day at dawn
