The Magnetic Fields - I don't want to get over you

I don't want to get over you.
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through what I go through.
I guess I should take Prozac, right,
And just smile all night
At somebody new, somebody not too bright but sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind.
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do
If I wanted to,
But I don't want to get over you

Because I don't want to get over love.
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist and
Not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends and go out again
And pretend it's enough,
Or I could make a career of being blue—
I could dress in black and read Camus,
Smoke clove cigarettes and
Drink vermouth like I was 17
That would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you.
