Impossible Smile

If we'd had met
Before you met him
Would you look at me different
Than as just his best friend

Your sun brown face
And your pockets full of evil
Your west coast lips
That I wish I could steal

You watched me suffer
As I walked you home
You cooked him Dinner
As I ate alone

Oh, do you know how it feels
When you're the third wheel

Remember that new years
When I hit on your sister
She looked just like you
With her cocaine and glitter

She laughed in my face
And said god bless your soul
LA at Midnight
Not a car on the road

I wandered the streets
With the broken daydreamers
Where the women all wave
With big rings on their fingers

Oh, do you know how it feels
When you're the third wheel

And I looked in your eyes
I could see myself drowning
And I realize I only fall for impossible smiles

You may think I'm innocent
But the truths right above ya
You know I can out weird and out drug
And out love ya

Remember that night
You were out of control
I forgive you for givin me
My last bit of hope

And all this misgiving
Has taken it's toll
If you give me a child
I'll forget rock n roll

And all of the hell
That comes with heaven
Couldn't take me away
From this life I've been living

Always a groomsmen
Or An uncle at best
One Thousand christmas cards
The cause of my death

But I'd rather be punished
Than let myself heal
I'd rather get robbed
Than to break down and steal
Oh, do you know how it feels
When you're the third wheel
