Negative/Positive – Goodbye Douglas lyrics

Verse 1:

I've seen the way she smiles, when I let her hold me tight
Oh I've heard the way she laughs when we're staying up all night
Oh no, you wouldn't wanna let her go
It used to be just us, but then you came marching in
And I watched her blow away oh-so softly on the wind
Oh no, I didn't wanna let her go
She may not be perfect but she's wonderful to me
And you don't appreciate how golden she can be
Oh no, this is all for show
And I see her sipping lemonade at a festival in the shade
Of a weeping willow tree
But then I see you take her away from me...

Chorus:

You're the ordinary to her extraordinary
She's revolutionary, you're over here just wearing
Khakis
You're the human manifestation of the color beige, oh
She's spectacular, and you're no match to her
How can she be infatuated with someone just so...crappy?
How could someone so wonderful end up with a Douglas?

Verse 2:

Have you seen her eyes, the way they sparkle in the light?
Have you noticed her passion, her fire, oh, her might?
How sad, this is just a fad
She's a wildfire and you're a public swimming pool
You're just a grain of sand that's stuck in my shoe and
She's my precious jewel, oh

Chorus

Bridge

I know...
You don't need me to impose
Upon the things you chose
Because I'm not a part of them
And I know...
You are old enough to live by your own rules
As long as he's just a harmless tool
Forget me not, baby
Remember me always
Though you'll never call me darling
As long as we're not parting, I'll
Have to let it go
As long as I know this isn't goodbye for us...

Final Chorus:

He's the ordinary to your extraordinary
You're revolutionary, he's over here just wearing
Khakis
He's the human manifestation of the color beige, oh
You're spectacular and he's no match to you
How can you be infatuated with someone just so...crappy?
How could someone so wonderful end up with a
Someone so wonderful end up with a
Someone so wonderful end up with a Douglas?
