    Story Behind the Song

    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)
