I see the pictures on the wall
The time, the place, I don't recall
I can't swear I was there at all
Or if I'm here now

I hear the way you talk to me
It's like you're asking silently
To make it how used to be
But I just don't know how

Cos I ain't your boy

But I sleep in his bed
And I sleep with his wife
I know all of his friends
I inhabit his life

I watch him on the videos
The shaggy hair, the funny clothes
The naked lip beneath the nose
A muscle memory/a memory of a man

You wonder loudly where he is
And why he never re-appears
I try to tell you through the tears
I haven't seen that kid for years

And I ain't your boy

And you're never gonna get him back
Nothing's gonna bring him back

But if you narrow your blue eyes then
I could be him from way back when
And I won't mind, there is no shame
If you kiss me and call me his name
