Stuck in Billerica
You live in a different small town than I’m used to
It seems better than mine in some ways
The rent’s pretty cheap it looks like
I’m glad that you live alone
I had a very nice time in your living room
You were especially kind after Chinese dinner
Looks like you just might find me
Better than I’ve found myself these days
And I have to say I’m flattered
But you don’t know how much I’m scattered
You want coffee at 2 a.m.
You want a line drive straight to the middle
You want rebound love that’s easy and I can’t give it to you, give it to you
You want Halloween night in costume
You want no speed bumps in the middle
You want playground love at our age and I can’t give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
Your stairway’s dim and twisty
You guide me up without glasses
I sure want to see everything
But it’s easy up close
Past midnight, I gotta work next day
You tell me I can get up early
It’s only 25 minutes to my place
I’m glad that I could stay
You don’t strike me as lonely
Could I ever be your one and only?
When all you want is coffee at 2 a.m.
You want a line drive straight to the middle
You want rebound love that’s easy and I can’t give it to you, give it to you
You want Halloween night in costume
You want no speed bumps in the middle
You want playground love at our age and I can’t give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
Nothing hurts half as much as hearing you act all casual
It wouldn’t hurt you to never see me again
It’d only hurt you if I left to get some sleep
It wouldn’t hurt you
When all you want is coffee at 2 a.m.
You want a line drive to the middle
You want rebound love that’s easy and I can’t give it
You want Halloween night in costume
You want no speed bumps in the middle
You want playground love at our age and I can’t give it to you
You want your sky to stay up high
But you’re already down, Chicken Little
You want bedroom love that don’t leave there and I can’t give it to you
I wanted to call in and say
That I’m stuck in Billerica for the day
I’m stuck in Billerica for the day
I’m stuck in Billerica
