Well you say that I treat you like a book on a shelf
I don't take you out that often 'cause I know that I've completed you
And that's why you are here
That's the reason why you're here
How awful that must feel
You said you would be my dream, I could have you every night
And if, by morning, I'd forgotten you, well, that'sok, it'd be all right
'cause you are the reoccurring kind
You are the reoccurring kind
You never really leave my mind
Are you the love of my lifetime? 'Cause there's been times when I've had my doubts
We were just kids when I first kissed you in the attic of my parents house
And I wish we were there now
It took so long to figure out
What this book has been about
Now I write when I'm away letters that you never read
You said go to explore those other women,
the geography of their bodies
But there is just one map you'll need
You are a boomerang. You'll see
You will return to me
You will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will
'Cause if you don't, then this book's all lies
If you don't, then my plans would all be ruined
If you don't, I'll start drinking like the way I drank before
And there just won't be a future anymore
