Public Display of Affection

i've always seen this anywhere
i smile and somehow a bit bitter
for even in my daydreams
i'm being drained and drowned
by the cycles of cusses

i just watch those couples
from the corner of my eyes
and wish that i could also feel
a genuine fondness like that

while Carole King's song
deafening my ear says:
it's too late baby now it's too late
