WELL-MADE MODEL Words & Music by Lauren Marcus (c.) 2019
Performed by Marques Walls and Lauren Marcus
She’s afraid to touch him Are the rules the same?
He’s a different person It’s the same old game
Still, he seems familiar
They fall into bed
She can trick her body
But inside her head
She’s thinking:
He’s a well-made model
Of a love I knew
And I should be happy
But he isn’t, no he isn’t, no he isn’t you
Somewhere three towns over, there’s a man at the wheel
Left hand on ten, right hand copping a feel
And his date is laughing, wants to find a motel
He’s saying “Sure sure, baby, sounds good”
But he’s thinking, “Aw hell…aw hell”
She’s a well-made model
Of a love I knew
And I should be happy
But she isn’t, no she isn’t, no she isn’t you
He’s/she’s just a
Synthetic, athletic, pathetic reminder of what I had
He’s/she’s a way to fill the time, and so I stay
He’s/she’s built to make me empty, but you’re built to make me sad
Tell me where does it go, baby, when we throw it all away?
Where did you go, baby, when we threw it all away?
They meet up some Monday, they both have a drink
They make all the same jokes…but the punch lines sink
Maybe it’s the weather - maybe it’s the shame
In a room together - but it’s not the same
She's/he’s thinking
She’s/he's a well-made model
Of a love I knew
And I should be happy
But she/he isn’t, no she/he isn’t, no she/he isn’t you
She/he isn’t, no she/he isn’t, no she/he isn’t you
