The Perls - Videos (On TV) Lyrics

You pick him up at the airport
Oh God it's been so long
And you set out on the highway
And he plays your favorite song

And then you get in a fight at the rest stop
Because something had to be wrong
And you realize you're back where you started
Where you been along

My girl's got a pretty good temper
So straightforward, she's well-centered
Oh my god, what did I do?
Lettin myself get away from you
My life's been pretty much empty
Since I lost her and she left me
Oh my god, listen to me
Cryin at videos on TV

The blinds are drawn, there's no one home
I guess I'll leave myself alone
And maybe when I'm fully grown
I will learn to be fully in control

And now he's leaving without you
Oh God it's been so long
And he sets out on the highway
And he plays your favorite song
And then he washes his face at the rest stop
Because everything feels wrong
And he realizes he's where he started
Right where he belongs

My girl's got a pretty good temper
So straightforward, she's well-centered
Oh my god, what did I do?
Lettin myself get away from you
My life's been pretty much empty
Since I lost her and she left me
Oh my god, listen to me
Cryin at videos on TV

My girl's, she called my bluff
Left my flat, packed her stuff
And I'm so tired of acting tough
Oh my god, enough's enough

The blinds are drawn, there's no one home
I guess I'll leave myself alone
And maybe when I'm fully grown
I will learn to be fully in control
