C F
there are worse ways for a guy to spend his time
G Am
than to sit and think of you I think I'd marry you
F G
just your smile leaves me satisfied
C
though you're not mine
F
so for the rest of my life
G C
I'm gonna search for someone just like you
and we tend the garden all day long
watching history unfold
and I'd be enough and you'd be enough
and we'd grow up
so for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search for someone just like you
for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search for someone just like you
yeah, for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search for someone just like you

| Isn't Blake gay? I always took it as a gay guy longing over a straight guy but he knows he'll never get him. | |

| Blake is most definitely singing. I'd have to say, if you think think that's Jenny singing, you've clearly never heard her sing anything else. I love this song. It's so sad, and sweet in a creepy-stalker-ish way. This song is so heartfelt. | |

| to me, this song is about friends who are secretly in love but never let it go further than that. they are so much alike and would basically be perfect together in another time or place where both of them were free. so basically, jenny will, for the rest of her life, compare every man she meets to him, weighing them out to see if they can match up to him. | |

| Dude, any guy who knows and sings songs by Rilo Kiley automatically wins my heart. Musical taste is the number one thing I look for in a guy. | |

| No, Blake isn't gay! He was dating Jenny for a while. It's possible that this song is about her, actually. At least I hope he isn't gay...otherwise my marrying him could be a little awkward. | |

| This song is beautiful. I was so close to singing it to a guy I really like. o_o;; I don't know if he feels the same way or not, but it seems appropriate. "Just your smile leaves me satisfied, though you're not mine." Damn, couldn't have said it better myself. | |

| I love this song so much, it's so sad, because you see that he knows that wanting her is so impossible that he wants someone like her, not her directly....I don't know if that makes any sense, but great song | |
