Detour Lyrics

I wait by the door I know you won't walk through

Wait up by the phone in case you need someone to talk to

And you can be somebody else in a heartbeat

Sigh and say something poetic and tell me you want me

But I'm just a detour, a quick fix when you're bored

This won't be a love story they'll write down

I'm not at your party, just the drunk call at 2:30

And it's fucked up, but it's just what you do

And I'm used to you

Daydreams and delusion, I

I make your excuses for you

But I know, I know damn well

I don't really do it for you

I'd ask if you wanted to stay

But darling I already know

I'm not your destination

But if you feel like taking the longer way home

I'm just a detour, a quick fix when you're bored

This won't be a love story they'll write down

I'm not at your party, just the drunk call at 2:30

And it's fucked up, but it's just what you do

And I'm used to you

It's just what you do

It's just that I knew what you were doing

And I watched it in slow motion as it all came crashing down

Nothing to break the fall

I'm just a detour, I know that now

I'll grab the keys and show myself out

I'm so convenient to keep around

I get my hopes up, you let me down

I'm not at your party, just the drunk call at 2:30

And it's fucked up, but it's just what you do, I know you

I'm just a detour, a quick fix when you're bored

This won't be a love story they'll write down

I'm not at your party, just the drunk call at 2:30

And it's fucked up, but it's just what you do

God, it's fucked up that I'm used to you

I'm used to you
