I Think It Would Be Great

i've come to meet you in Moscow, Idaho

i'll drive down to you if you talk specifically to pro-bo

to hear you say jessica when you're in Philadelphia

and i' would love to be courted long distance from Portland

i think it would be great

if you lived in a different state

otherwise i am to busy i'm always in a rush

and theres not enough room for all my stuff

i like boys from Tennessee

and they sure now how to make them in Ypsilanti

i'm going to bring a little brianna to you in indiana

i'll be wishin' i was kissin' with you in Michigan

i used to think it was great

when i got to look forward to seeing your face

but now that we occupy the same space

i just cant get excited in the same way

the further away the fuzzier your face

the harder to make a less desirable trace

when i'm looking at you through a telescopic lens

thats when its easier for me to use my imagination

but when i'm looking at you through a microscopic lens

thats when it harder for me to pretend

but i still think it would be great

if you lived in a different state

for thats the only way we can remain

in this lovey dovey romantic phase

without the drag of the everyday

i'm sorry that i liked you better

when i only knew you through your letters

take it from me the best way to be

is fickle and fackles and wishy and washy

let me tell you the best thing to do

when you live in a city (Milwaukee)

is find yourself a hottie

and when you realize you want more then just a smooch

pack up your bags and move to Minneapolis or Duluth
