Verse One:
Girl, I've got good news if you like bad news
I'm no Modest Mouse, no Death Cab
But truth be old I don't mind being used
And I could dress like cowboy dan

I bet I kiss like Viggo Mortenson
Just try closing both your eyes
All you have to do is to imagine
And pretend I'm one of those guys

Chorus:
OH!!!
She, she wishes I could be
Ben Gibbard or Isaac Brock
But I'm sorry, so sorry I cannot

I could be your second best
And I promise you won't regret
Taking me, your silver medal
'Cuz I know I can't reach their level but
I could be your second best
I'll make it something you won't forget
Taking me, your silver medal
Baby please, come on just settle

Verse Two:
I will, I know I could tide you over
Darling please, give me a chance
I'll be yours 'til you find somethin better
Meanwhile, you will be romanced

I can't write songs but I could write letters
Postal Service done that yet?
Don't give me that look, I know you're thinking
He's cute but he's no Johnny Depp

Chorus:
OH!!!
She, she wishes I could be
Ben Gibbard or Isaac Brock
But I'm sorry, so sorry I cannot

Verse Three(ending):
I've got mine but I want more
I've got gloves to keep you warm
I can tell you why you're so sad
We always want what we can't have (you want them and I want you)
I'm no Gibbard and I'm no Brock
I'm no Gibbard and I'm no Brock
I'm no Gibbard and I'm no Brock
I'm no Gibbard and I'm no Brock
But you're so damn hot

I thought this was pretty funny. I'm very unhappy with the fourth line in the first verse, but I couldn't think of anything good to put there. The third verse is mostly a bunch of references to different modest mouse and death cab songs. The title "Ben Brock, Isaac Gibbard" is temporary so if you have any suggestions they'd be most welcome.
