Vicariously Yours,…(Barela)
He went to meet you for dinner tonight
His hands were shaking as you came into sight
I knew you’d smile when he said all the words
Describing all my feelings that you’d never heard
He was saying those things I know that get you to smile
My heartfelt feelings, his clumsy style
You twirled your hair and he was clearing his throat
As he’d recite what I wrote, vicariously yours
(Chorus:)
I’ll feel you with another touch
I’ll be speaking through another voice
And I’ll love you with another heart
So he can kiss you
And he can talk to you
But he could never want you in the way that I do
If you only knew
Vicariously yours
You’ve been my best friend since the second grade
I met him last year and now we’ve planned this charade
You’ve always been above me in a class of your own
He sinks beneath what most of us would sexually condone
It started writing letters to you using his name
To see your reaction in a twisted game
He’ll get a notch in his bed you’ll get a notch in your heart
I’m not too smart, vicariously yours (chorus)
(Bridge:)
It’s too out of hand
It's too off the wall
Such a stupid scheme
Maybe I should just call
I want you forever
He just wants you in bed
All of this bullshit really gets to your head (chorus)
