letra de one of a couple - jake mckelvie & the countertops

how dare i imagine such beauty on anything other than you
had i wanted to vanish, i’m sure i’d have managed
but i didn’t cuz i didn’t want to
i’m guessing you’re one of a couple, whereas i’m one of a bunch
and i’m pretty sure i’m in trouble
i think that i’m losing my lunch

still i can’t tell you concretely
just how it is that i feel
it’s a lie to imply you complete me
but you’re still a big part of the meal
would you be upset if i suggested
you shade me in most of the way
but i can’t fill the one percent sliver
what more could i possibly say

let’s assume you’re like someone i once knew
though we both know i’d dare not compare ya
seems i’m getting better but there’s likely no cure
so i’m doing my best to prepare ya
and sometimes it’s hard to entice us
but i’m sure even you could agree
nothing quite haunts you like life does
and no one quite wants you like me

so if this is a dance we’ve been doing
then for now i’m refusing to sway
i tried to recite in an incisive
leonard cohen sort of way
but i stuttered and stammered and then soon
enough much to my dismay
you shot back “who do you think you’re kidding
you look like a fool with a hat and a cane”
so i’m either a dog on a tile floor
or else i’m a cat on a couch
and i’m staring you down at the sliding door
hoping you’ll notice and come let me out
but then once you do i’ll just stand there
a minute or two then repeat
because i remember the outside will k!ll you
and i ought to stay off of my feet

but there’s nothing that fits like the feeling
that i get when you call me a liar
which i tried on, brought home, ripped the tags off
but then never wore because it shrank in the dryer
but if i do still end up in the running
but i take one or two breaks to breathe
i suppose i’ll have had it all coming
if you do opt to get up and leave
