i could be the guy

so i left and you stayed in the middle of nowhere
that was yesterday with the life that weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d have shared
on the corner of Broadway and i canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t be there.

so there were nights on my own and all that i cared about
was dialing home and hearing your gorgeous mouth
say things to me that people should outlaw.

picket fences, home grown, toys on the front lawn
was never a frontline that weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d even fight on
so send your regards to the relic in the city
that whines and pines and lives on self pity

i could be the guy
(that everyone else wanted)
i could be the guy
(that you swore you wanted)
but iÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll never be the guy that you truly trusted
because iÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve never been the guy that you truly wanted

so IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll peddle my moods to an unsuspecting public
who fell for my tunes cause IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m Ã¢â‚¬Å“oh so electricÃ¢â‚¬?
i have words but no looks or weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d have a hat trick.
