On standby

She chose me over her fiancé
Now I'm pulling away, yea
I'm pulling away, oh

Ding-dong ding-dong
Turning thirty-five

I want so badly to love you, belle
I keep pulling away, yea
I'm pulling away, oh
You're full of holes no one can fill
You keep pulling away, yea
Pulling away, oh

Ding-dong ding-dong
I feel like a widower inside
My youth is quickly passing by
Turning thirty-five
I still sleep alone at night
Will I be alone for all my life?

She chose me over her betrothed
And now I'm pulling away, yea
I'm pulling away, oh
I miss a man I've never known
Still pulling away
Pulling away, oh

Ding-dong ding-dong
I feel like a widower inside
My youth is quickly passing by
Turning thirty-five
I still sleep alone at night
Will I be home for all my life?

Ding-dong ding-dong
I am watching life pass me by
I see it flash before my eyes
My youth is quickly passing by
Turning thirty-five
I feel like an old man inside
Just waiting for his turn to die

Ding-dong ding-dong
I am just a widower inside
