I saw somebody who
reminded me of you
before you got afraid
i wish that you could've stayed that way

i saw a little girl
i stopped and smiled at her
she screamed and ran away
it happens to me more and more these days [bad word] and these songs that you sing
do they mean anything
to the people you're singing them to
people like you

i saw a photograph
a woman in a bath
of hundred dollar bills
if the cold doesn't kill her, money will

i read a magazine
that said by seventeen
your life was at an end
i'm dead and i'm perfectly content
 [bad word] 
and these songs that i sing
do they mean anything
to the people i'm singing them to
people like you
 [bad word] 
and these songs that we sing
do they mean anything
to the people we're singing them to
tonight they do
