(Music & Lyrics by Tom Levin)
You looked like Cate Blanchett in that movie about Dylan
Don’t have to be your darling, to be a part of the killing
“
Hey, I’m a sucker for your face”, you sang
I wish it was mine but I’m nothing but a man
When I said hello, well you had me at hey
Decided to save you for another rainy day
You made it all look easy, I believed your every word
With songs so familiar in a way I’d never heard
I hope you understand and forgive me one day
See I hate you in a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful way
In the girl from Nova Scotia I see the younger me
Everything I wasn’t, all I wanted to be
Now, I’m the sucker all over again
I guess some just have it and you're one of them
I hope you understand and forgive me one day
See I hate you in a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful way
I keep telling my friends that we shared the same stage
While at the same time I’m hiding my bitter old rage
I’ve always been saying it’s never too late
But you're half my age and at least twice as great
I must admit I considered retiring
But you've got that something, something that’s inspiring
I take what I face, I turn it around
A song in the air, words off the ground
I hope you understand and maybe one day
You will hate me in a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful way
I hate you in a beautiful way
