Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I Google you

late at night when I don’t know what to do

I find photos

you’ve forgotten you were in

put up by your friends

I Google you

when the day is done and everything is through

I read your journal

that you kept that month in France

I’ve watched you dance

And I’m pleased your name is practically unique

it’s only you and a would-be PhD in Chesapeake

who writes papers on the structure of the sun

I’ve read each one

I know that I should let you fade

but there’s that box and there’s your name

somehow it never makes the pain

grow less or fade or disappear

I think that I should save my soul and

I should crawl back in my hole

But it’s too easy just to fold

and type your name again I fear

I google you

Whenever I’m alone and feeling blue

And each scrap of information

That I gather

says you’ve got somebody new

And it really shouldn’t matter

ought to blow up my computer

but instead

.

I google you
