[Verse 1]
Whatever floats your boat's your lifestyle choices
You take a little coke and ride wild horses
But when I talk to you I don't hear voices

[Verse 2]
I get to live a life as if by proxy
I shouldn't be surprised you'd try and stop me
Forever it's Spring for you, not for me

[Chorus 1]
I am a broken man, and I won't make a fuss
I will be gone before you miss me, my love

[Verse 3]
In writing from the edge, your correspondent
He won't let you forget that he's despondent
But you're unavailable for any comment

[Verse 4]
Just livin' for the day of our next encounter
I never found a way to live without her
I'm sorry to say it, I know it's a downer

[Chorus 2]
The provocation of desire's often mundane
Never complain, never explain, my love
