lyrics
Look at that double bill on the marquee
I wish I hadn’t made all these plans
You can keep Duke Kahanamoku
And the white sand beach
I’m supposed to be packing I know
Combing my hair, throwing out wine
I can’t stop dreaming about
Blowing chances and wasting time
I’m supposed to be running out the door
It’s all I can do not to wish for
Vanishing cabs and canceled flights
Waikiki beach can wait, a few more nights
I wish you’d call me at some ungodly hour, to ask me to help you write your novel
I want to be your friend, not only when I’m all you got, when other people are around, not just when they’re not
Are we living in the only universe where I’m bored out of my mind in a lawn chair?
I should know better than to tell anyone anything
It only makes you lonely
You got burned once when they took your story about two gay army vets
Cast a couple of jokers, played it broad for laughs
I’m supposed to be running out the door
It’s all I can do not to wish for
Vanishing cabs and canceled flights
Waikiki beach can wait, a few more nights
I wish you’d call me at some ungodly hour, to ask me to help you write your novel
I want to be your friend, not only when I’m all you got, when other people are around, not just when they’re not
Are we living in the only universe where I’m bored out of my mind in a lawn chair?
I should know better than to tell anyone anything
It only makes you lonely
High school friends, moms and dads, old baseball and country stars
You know you can’t go your whole life thinking everyone’s going to one day let you down
I wish you’d call me at some ungodly hour, to ask me to help you write your novel
I want to be your friend, not only when I’m all you got, when other people are around, not just when they’re not
Are we living in the only universe where I’m bored out of my mind in a lawn chair?
I should know better than to tell anyone anything
It only makes you lonely
I wish I hadn’t made all these plans
You can keep Duke Kahanamoku
And the white sand beach
I’m supposed to be packing I know
Combing my hair, throwing out wine
I can’t stop dreaming about
Blowing chances and wasting time
I’m supposed to be running out the door
It’s all I can do not to wish for
Vanishing cabs and canceled flights
Waikiki beach can wait, a few more nights
I wish you’d call me at some ungodly hour, to ask me to help you write your novel
I want to be your friend, not only when I’m all you got, when other people are around, not just when they’re not
Are we living in the only universe where I’m bored out of my mind in a lawn chair?
I should know better than to tell anyone anything
It only makes you lonely
You got burned once when they took your story about two gay army vets

I should know better than to tell anyone anything
It only makes you lonely
