[Verse 1]
Well, you say that I treat you like a book on a shelf
I don't take you out that often 'cause I know that I completed you
And that's why you are here
That's the reason you stay here
How awful that must feel

[Verse 2]
You said you'd be my dream, I could have you every night
And if by morning I'd forgotten you, well, no big deal, that'd be alright
'Cause you're the reoccuring kind
You are the reoccuring kind
You never really leave my mind

[Verse 3]
Are you the love of my lifetime? 'Cause there's been times I've had my doubts
We were just kids when I first kissed you in the attic of my parents' house
And I wish we were there now
I took so long to figure out
What this book has been about

[Verse 4]
Now I write when I'm away letters that you'll never read
You said, "Go explore those other women, the geography of their bodies
But there's just one map you'll need
You're a boomerang, you'll see
You will return to me
[Bridge]
Well, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will
Oh, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will, you will

[Outro]
'Cause if you don't, then this book's all lies
If you don't, then my plans would all be ruined
If you don't, I'll start drinking like the way I drank before
Oh, oh, and I just won't have a future anymore"
