The Magnetic Fields, 69 Love Songs
I don't want to get over you.
I guess I could take a sleeping pill and sleep at will
and not have to go through what I go through.
I guess I should take Prozac, right, and just smile all
night at somebody new, somebody not too bright but
sweet and kind who would try to get you off my mind.
I could leave this agony behind which is just what I'd
do if I wanted to, but I don't want to get over you.
Cause I don't want to get over love.
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of; I could listen
to all my friends and go out again and pretend it's enough,
or I could make a career of being blue.
I could dress in black and read Camus, smoke clove cigarettes
and drink vermouth like I was 17 that would be a scream but I don't want to get over you.
