The Objection

Sort of inspired be the Graduate, what might have been going through Ben's mind when mulling everything over.

I don't know if I believe it when they say
There's happy ending for everyone these days
Marriage and kids, two cars and a picket fence
I'm starting to think they lied about possibility

I'm the lonely one fifty yards from the alter
Sir I was the one in love with your daugther
She married someone else, and I'm upset
I wish I could have a Ben Braddock moment
And rush her away out of my dreams
But then what would I say, what would I say

I should be happy, I should feel blessed
Such a beautiful moment that I want to wreck
I guess I'm just a good enough for love
Or atleast of the one I desire
Oh Elaine please say no, come with me and go

In my mind it's perfect
In my mind it's right
We have the dream, we live alright
And everyday I make you happy
You being there makes mine
But what am I saying to myself inside
I have to tell myself the time has past
And learn to let go

And it's ok, I should tell myself
I'll find love with someone else
But every thought, every embrace
Will bring me back to her
Even after all hope is lost
