The Magnetic Fields - I Don't Want to Get Over You lyrics

I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through what I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right
And just smile all night at somebody new

Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do if I wanted to
But, I don't want to get over you

'Cause, I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist
Pretend you don't exist
And not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
And go out again and pretend it's enough

Or I could make a career of being blue


I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
Like I was 17 that would be a scream
But, I don't want to get over you
