Not every girl I've been with has seen me as a catch,
And that's best.
Because I'd bet the ones that did are better than the rest.
And that's a test along with a testament.
The rest then seem mostly irrelevant
Unless I use them to contrast their own intelligence
As a precedence to their appearance.
I may not be a catch, but I don't hold that in my chest,
Or in my head, my back, my hands; I don't keep stress.
I just keep on truckin', as R. Crumb would draw.
And sometimes my answers don't catch the sum of it all.
I am a man, with just was many follies and sorrows
And even if you try to follow me into tomorrow
You'll have to swallow a lot of pride and even try to borrow time for you to see.
I'm as deep as the seven seas but that doesn't mean
I'm not shallow; I'm callow when it comes these things.
And the fact that you'll read this is making me sick.
I'm just the captain of a lost but not yet sinking ship.
I'm a pirate with irate ideas about your faith,
Even though I'm not even sure what really takes place.
Hear it once and don't forget, it's not much of a secret
That some people in my life feel I'm not a real catch.
And their reasoning is good, I just wish I could
Express that to you before you do something you shouldn't.
Don't evict the man who put a dent in the car from a short distance
For man that has a plan to go far with little resistance.
I swerve when I drive like you sniffle when you cry,
The only difference is I'll be doing this until I die.
