Classifieds

Look through the classifieds, maybe I'll find a friend who cares

Decent and true but my interests are few

And how would I reply? Start with, I've never done this before



And all the chains that bind you

You might find they're just threads that float around

It's fun to fantasize through someone else's eyes



Every week I read the advertisements from start to end

Stable, mature but a little unsure

What am I looking for? Number 340's in here again



And like the characters portrayed in a play

No one ever stops to read

I have to say that this all seems strange to me



It's not that different from my life

Condense it down into five lines

Now I know the reason why these ads all look alike



How can anyone describe who they are in a page or less?

But desperately looking for someone I guess

But when the morning comes

Both of you will be scratching your heads



In the aftermath

Head to the bathroom to straighten up and then

You realize you forgot your toothbrush again



And what you saw in those five lines

Did it materialize?

Now you know the reason why

That one's in there every time



Look through the classifieds

Who's in the classifieds?
