Dog-Eared Page

Matches (The)
(album: E. Von Dahl Killed The Locals)

I´m just a dog-eared page you turn back to.
Where´s the place for me
When we´re both in love with you?

I can´t escape these friends
I´ve made since you left town.
They throw redundant parties
where I´m too often found.
And while I sit and watch girls and boys
trade views of new tattoos
I wonder if it´s too late to call your mom
and catch up on some news.
She says you´ll be home soon for me -

And it´ll be just like you were never gone.
I´ll try to be just some guy you´re getting on.
But basically, we´re both in love with you.
I´m just a dog-eared page you turn back to.
Where´s the place for me,
when we´re both in love with you?

I´ve got these "friends" in quotes
and girls* with asterisks.
I watch the time whither
and fall from my wrist.
Out on the porch Van Morrison
is bleeding through the walls.
I don´t think your roommate
has been writing down my calls.
She says you´ll be home soon for me -

And it´ll be just like you were never gone.
I´ll try to be just some guy you´re getting on.
But basically, we´re both in love with you.
I´m just a dog-eared page you turn back to.
Where´s the place for me,
when we´re both in love with you?

You said the distance
would make a difference,
But it didn´t.

And it´ll be just like you were never gone.
I´ll try to be just some guy you´re getting on.
But you and me, we´re both in love with you.
I´m just a dog-eared page you turn back to.
Where´s the place for me,
when we´re both in love with you?
