Temporary soulmate
Thrown on the pile
I guess it wasn’t set in stone
Temporary soulmate
Did not say goodbye
I guess I probably should have known
I guess I probably should’ve goddamn known
I guess I probably should’ve goddamn
Temporary soulmate
Thanks for the high times
Thanks for inviting me home
Temporary soulmate
Down the New Jersey turnpike
In the backseat
Crying alone
She told me to walk and she told me to stop
Eat lots of oatmeal and not to drink pop
But sometimes I wandered and sometimes I got
A LECTURE
I know it was nice to be told what to do
And made to find out what I already knew
She sold me a kosher but became a debt collector
OH OH OH
Temporary soulmate
Is back with her mom
I’d call her if I had a phone
Temporary soulmate
Permanently lost
I guess I’d always kind of known
I guess I’d always kind of goddamn known
I guess I’d always kind of goddamn
Temporary soulmate
I’m sorry you’re gone
I’m standing here with nothing to show
Temporary soulmate
I don’t even cry
I’m sleeping one bedroom below
She told me to get up and when to lie down
She always had money when we went to town
She said I was OK but she wanted me to get better
She got nonchalant when I tried to find out
If she would assuage me when I was in doubt
But she only loved me because she already knew how to let go
