You pull me down
To the floor
Of our apartment
A little while later
We are laughing
At our carpet burns
I like the way
That it glows outside
As the room gets darker
How I wish we could
Stay like this
While the rest of the world turns
There has never been a time
When I didn't want to be your boyfriend
There has never been a time
When I didn't want to know your name
Free falling from a work in progress
Free falling from a life on hold
There has never been a time
When I didn't want you
[Chorus]
My good lover
Is my one good thing these days
You help me keep it all
From slipping away
I swear I'm gonna marry you someday
(Someday)
I am all alone
And it seems like
All I do is wait
Yes, we spend hours on the phone
But it's never the same
No, nothing good ever does easy
Nothing good ever comes without a fight
I am all alone
And I wish I was home
With you tonight
[Chorus]
Yeah, my girlfriend is like
Magic in the hand
When I lose my sparkle
She's the only one
That understands
I know I'm going to marry you someday [Repeat x2]
Yeah, I swear I'm going to marry you someday
Yeah yeah, I swear I'm going to marry you
Someday [Repeat x3]

awwwwwwwwww I'm crying.
Don't cry too hard ... my ex-boyfriend made me a CD with this song included ... only to dump me a month and a half later.
At one of Art's Solo Tours, he played this song. He said it was the only love song he's ever written because he's just never been good at it. This is the way I want to be loved one day. This is what I've been looking for. The fact it's out there just has to be good enough. Anyway, to sum that up, I love this song.
This song is almost the prettiest everclear has (besides Arts song to his daughter) kinda sad that he cant write more like this. I agree, this is also the way I want to be loved one day. Who doesnt?
Yeah my boyfriend also put this song on a CD he made for me...i love this song....he's in the Navy now, so it really reminds me of him
"My girlfriend is like magic in my hands When I lose my sparkle she's the only one that understands"
This is how love should be. This song is beautiful.
Contrary to my last message (above) my ex and I got back together. So "nothing good ever comes without a fight".
My boyfriend and I were talking on AIM and he told me he got a rugburn from when we fell off the couch hehe and literally just as he said that, I was looking through Everclear lyrics because I like the stuff I've heard and I found this song. You pull me down to the floor of our apartment/A little while later we are laughing at our carpet burns It was such the perfect moment that I fell in love with this song instantly, and then heard it and it was even better. Great song.
This is the first song I ever dedicated to my former girlfriend. It's a song about the deepest kind of love. By the way the former girlfriend is now my wife. I love you Rose.
this is how i've really been feeling as of late... btw, pick up slow motion daydream. it's excellent.
