My So-Called Life

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Ever since I saw you

On my so-called life,

I've been writing you these letters

Asking you to be my wife.

But its been almost a year

And still I've gotten no reply,

I'm assuming you have met some other guy.

So I sit in my room,

Watch Romeo & Juliet

A thousand times.

I wish I was as cool

As Leonardo is

But I'm not.

(Chorus)

I went on Jerry Springer

To confess my love to you

You said I didn't have a chance

And there was nothing I could do

You told me I was crazy

And wished that I was dead.

You threw a chair right upside my head

Today I highjacked a plane

I wrote your name across the sky,

Miss Clare Danes.

But they were waiting on the ground

To take me straight to jail

(Chorus)

Im staring at your pictures

From my lonely little cell

I'm writing you this letter

To let you know i doing well

Until we meet again

You know I'll cry a thousand tears

And I'll see you in another twenty years.

I'll see you in another twenty years.

I'll see you in another twenty years.
