Lyrics

I Owe Romeo

McElwain-Seifert / Political Suicide

There?s a guy I ran into a year ago
Claimed he?s the author of love
I call him ?Romeo?
Moved in in August while I was on vacation
Said he?s not leaving he?s here for the duration

First thing I know he?s scared away my girlfriend
Told me he?d find me another
He could recommend
Oh I?ll admit he?s the master of the pickup line
But who is he to be
Messing into what is mine?!
He was right -- it annoyed me
I see why love had avoided me
I?ll admit though it killed me to say so
He opened my eyes now
I owe Romeo -- I owe Romeo

Then he starts saying that
All my stuff is really his
And how depressing
Obsession with possession is
How all my time I worry about my net worth
The pile of stuff I?ll leave here
When I?m in the earth
He was right -- it annoyed me
I saw that selfishness had destroyed me
I confess though it killed me to say so
He opened my heart now
I owe Romeo -- I owe Romeo

Five minutes with this guy
He?ll change your point of view
You?ll realize that all he says is true

One day you recognize
You?re becoming someone new
So just sit down there?s nothing you can do

He tells me someday we?ll go
And live in his place
Showed me the plans
Yeah there?s a lot of space
Said he?ll fill it with friends
Of his from far and near
But in the meantime we?ll work
On building models here
I bet he?s right ? now I enjoy it
I?ve seen the evidence ? nothing can destroy it
I confess though it killed me to say so
He brought me around now
I owe Romeo -- I owe Romeo
