lyrics
Spending my time chasing Amy
Spending my time in reverie
Spending my time chasing Amy
But Amy is never chasing me
•
All in my head I sometimes get her
All in my head I sometimes do
All in my head sometimes I make her smile
But only in my head is it true
•
And I remember driving through Los Angeles with you
I remember every wrong move, I remember every right move too
I remember singing dance to the nightingale tune
I remember what the fortune teller said
I remember you crying in the bath of the hotel room
I remember when you conceived in the bed
I remember you
•
I'm sick of all these coincidental sightings
I'm sick of this consequential curse
I was eating in a cafe in London
I look out the window to see who's visage but hers
•
Every time I see her my heart rate goes haywire
I wish the earth would just open up and swallow me whole
She wrote a song called "Living Room Blues" inspired by a picture above our electric fire
And my songs once were enough to warm her soul
•
So I'm spending my time chasing Amy
Spending my time imagining her
I thought I seen her at a train stop on the west coast
I went to catch her but it was a lookalike it wasn't her
•
And I remember stopping on a lay-by and climbing over the hill
And you remember every time I ever cheated
And I know you probably always will
I remember double jeopardy in Arnold Stiefel’s bed
I remember that he never liked my hat
I remember how your face looked when your lips were painted red
I remember I remember much more than that
I remember you
Spending my time in reverie
Spending my time chasing Amy
But Amy is never chasing me
•
All in my head I sometimes get her
All in my head I sometimes do
All in my head sometimes I make her smile
But only in my head is it true
•
And I remember driving through Los Angeles with you
I remember every wrong move, I remember every right move too
I remember singing dance to the nightingale tune
I remember what the fortune teller said
I remember you crying in the bath of the hotel room
I remember when you conceived in the bed
I remember you
•
I'm sick of all these coincidental sightings
I'm sick of this consequential curse
I was eating in a cafe in London
I look out the window to see who's visage but hers
•
Every time I see her my heart rate goes haywire
I wish the earth would just open up and swallow me whole
She wrote a song called "Living Room Blues" inspired by a picture above our electric fire
And my songs once were enough to warm her soul
•
So I'm spending my time chasing Amy
Spending my time imagining her
I thought I seen her at a train stop on the west coast
I went to catch her but it was a lookalike it wasn't her
•
And I remember stopping on a lay-by and climbing over the hill
And you remember every time I ever cheated
And I know you probably always will
I remember double jeopardy in Arnold Stiefel’s bed
I remember that he never liked my hat
I remember how your face looked when your lips were painted red
I remember I remember much more than that
I remember you
