lyrics

SOMEONE ELSE'S WIFE

You know, it's the ones
Who faced the big guns
Who are most wary to talk of war;
And hear me, Lord above,
The same applies to love
So you see why I can't say much more.

Hair flecked with confetti,
You and him, and I bet he
Relished being the envy of the reception;
And I was the best man
And you know I still am
Though my speech was a triumph of deception.

Wrong place wrong time, too little too late,
Is this the story of my life
Where I'm always someone else's husband
And you're someone else's wife?

When I sigh
And get gazey-eyed
At the kitchen sink doing the dishes
She doesn't know
(Or, at least, I hope so)
What my aching wish is.

In lieu of sex
I send you texts
Short and sweet and cryptic;
And instead of dirt
I'm scrubbing from my shirt
I wish it was your lipstick.

Wrong place wrong time, too little too late,
Is this the story of my life
Where I'm always someone else's husband
And you're someone else's wife?

We've hard-learned
Everybody gets burned
And we could've been the perfect match;
If we could break these chains
I'd be kissing your veins
And you can rub my paunch or bald patch.

Can we ever be
Together and free
Not have to listen for a key in the door
Or could this feeling so strong
Transpire to be wrong
And we're left with nothing at all to say in the morn?

I'll never know, it's the end of the show
Of the story of my life
I'm always someone else's husband
You're always someone else's wife
