Someone Like You Lyrics

There's too much quiet noise

There are too many joys

There's not enough poise

For someone like you

I know I don't behave

But I wish I could've stayed

Because I'm so afraid

There's someone like you

You're too interlinked

To be so distinct

But if you're extinct

There's still someone like you

I feel you in my head

When I remember somebody said

They wanted someone dead

Someone like you

I heard Bill Maher was looking for you

Or at least for someone like you

I found some charming scum

I'm sure it makes you run

I think it's really dumb

To be someone like you

We share the air we breathe

That really makes me seethe

And I still can't believe

It's with someone like you

And it's like pulling teeth

Or it's like plucking hairs

To be so aware

Of someone like you

Some things are few and far between

More scarce than they seem

I guess one of them is dignity

For someone like you

I heard Jerry Seinfeld was looking for you

Or at least for someone like you

I wish I cared about you more

To know the things that you adore

Cause it's so nondescript

Hating someone like you

I hate that you exist

And although the seasons shift

Why must you insist

To stay someone like you

I'm told to give you time

But I just can't help but whine

It ought to be a crime

To be someone like you

John Cale and Lou Reed

Supplied this tune for me

But the only reason I'm sorry

Is someone like you
