like i used to (postcards version)

Do you remember the time

We cried in the supermarket?

You said, "I don't know what we're missing, darling

I just know that we've lost it"

And I tried to take your hand

You left without paying

We sat on the sidewalk, quietly

I heard you saying

I just wish it felt like it used to

I wish I could help like I used to

But you won't let me, will you?

You ordered a taxi

And I complain about the price of this city

But I won't let you pay for it

Well if that isn't irony

And then at the red light

You told me that I've been bittersweet

And I remember thinking

Is that all that I'm ever gonna be?

I just wish it felt like it used to

I wish I could help like I used

But you don't want me, do you?

I sat in my kitchen

And I watched MTV

I remember thinking

I wish I got groceries

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm
