lyrics

I know a man:
a most ordinary man
or so I thought.
see him walk,
talking on the phone.

Playing guitar
sometimes in terrible bars
where folks like us don't go.
Hear him sing
a brand new song he wrote.

Long after ten
when all decent folk are home in bed
he sits at his desk
thinking
now's my chance it's time to pull ahead

At 5:15,
when the sun begins to hit the street
[he] falls fast asleep
with his
tiny book tucked behind his head

I met a chap.
Struck me as terribly naff.
Perhaps you've seen him here,
drinking beer,
clearing out his mind.

I must admit
he almost had me convinced,
but what lies in his heart?
For that part,
what's inside of mine?

He's coming in fast
He's hoping to make a hit
'Cause when you're in love
you gotta make use of it

How could I know
if this is really it?
As soon as you see,
you're both just following script
