Elsewhere Lyrics

Minor Leagues Elsewhere

For five straight months you know we're never in the
same town
And we kiss good night on wires running underneath the
ground
For five straight months your graduation holds us in
suspense
I used to live in the past, but now I'm living in the
future tense

So we wish away two years at a time for a life we may
not ever even see
And yes I know you're still in love with me, and you
know I still care
But there's lots of looking elsewhere and we both have
tired eyes

For five straight days she's struck me with her
stunning figure
And I'm so inclined to let temptation go ahead and
linger on
And for five straight days he's charmed you with his
sense of humor
And you don't seem to mind the loose talk and idle
rumors going 'round

So we wish away two years at a time for a life we may
not ever even see
And yes I know you're still in love with me, and you
know I still care
But there's lots of looking elsewhere and we both have
tired eyes

We're both guilty, so there's no point in us pointing
fingers at each other
Just another chance to wonder what to do with ourselves
next
