[Verse 1]
Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roarin' by
Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby
Beside the southern ocean, taking stock of what's to be
Writing you this letter that you'll probably never see
[Chorus 1]
But I can't help but be
Ruled by inconsistencies
Not unique, just distantly in love
[Verse 2]
Tried to phone from Paris, thinking things could be arranged
Me and you would rendezvous, but I found your number changed
So I drove to San Remo, where the crazy painter dwells
Toasted our old photograph still up there on his shelf
[Chorus 2]
But I can't help but be
Ruled by my antiquities
Not unique, just distantly in love
[Bridge]
I can't be the one to fill
Your times and all your places
I can't be the one to fill
Your blanks and empty spaces
Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roarin' by
Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby
Beside the southern ocean, taking stock of what's to be
Writing you this letter that you'll probably never see
[Chorus 1]
But I can't help but be
Ruled by inconsistencies
Not unique, just distantly in love
[Verse 2]
Tried to phone from Paris, thinking things could be arranged
Me and you would rendezvous, but I found your number changed
So I drove to San Remo, where the crazy painter dwells
Toasted our old photograph still up there on his shelf
[Chorus 2]
But I can't help but be
Ruled by my antiquities
Not unique, just distantly in love
[Bridge]
I can't be the one to fill
Your times and all your places
I can't be the one to fill
Your blanks and empty spaces
