being boring

now i sit with different faces
in rented rooms and foreign places
all the people i was kissing
some are here and some are missing
in the nineteen-nineties
i never dreamt that i would get to be
the creature that i always meant to be
but i thought in spite of dreams
you'd be sitting somewhere here with me

and we were never being boring
we had too much time to find for ourselves
and we were never being boring
we dressed up and fought, then thought: make amends
and we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
we were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend
