The story behind the song

This Eels song captures the intense feeling of longing for someone who seems to be looking right at you, yet remains just out of reach. It speaks to a bold, almost desperate hope that if given the chance, "I'd never let you down." The song appears on the 2009 album Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs of Desire, an album title that perfectly matches the themes of unrequited love often explored in Eels' music. It's a journey into the heart of a dream, where one can imagine a different outcome.

[Verse 1]

C C/B Bb A

I never thought that I could be so bold

Dm Dm/C G7/B G7

To even say these thoughts aloud

C C/B Bb A

I see you with your man, your eyes just shine

Dm Dm/C G7/B G7

While he stands tall and walking proud

[Chorus]

C C/B Bb A Dm

That look you give that guy I wanna see

Dm/C G7/B G7

Looking right at me

C C/B Bb A Dm

If I could be that guy instead of me

Dm/C G7/B G7

I'd never let you down

[Verse 2]

C C/B Bb A

It always seems like you're going somewhere

Dm Dm/C G7/B G7

Better than you've been before

C C/B Bb A

While I go to sleep and I dream all night

Dm Dm/C G7/B G7

Of you knocking on my door

[Chorus]

C C/B Bb A Dm

That look you give that guy I wanna see

Dm/C G7/B G7

Looking right at me

C C/B Bb A Dm

If I could be that guy instead of me

I'd be all I can be, I'd be all I can be

[Verse 3]

C C/B Bb A

I'm nothing like what I'd like to be

Dm Dm/C G7/B G7

I'm nothing much I know it's true

C C/B Bb A

I lack the style and the pedigree

Dm Dm/C G7/B G7

And my chances are so few

[Chorus]

C C/B Bb A Dm

That look you give that guy I wanna see

Dm/C G7/B G7

Looking right at me

C C/B Bb A Dm

If I could be that guy instead of me

Dm/C G7/B G7

I'd give you all I got

[Verse 4]

C C/B Bb A

I never thought that I could be so bold

Dm Dm/C G7/B G7

To even say these thoughts aloud

C C/B Bb A

But if, let's say, it won't work out

Dm Dm/C G7/B G7

You know where I can be found

[Chorus]

That look you give that guy I wanna see

Dm/C G7/B G7

Looking right at me

C C/B Bb A Dm

If I could be that guy instead of me

Dm/C G7/B G7

I'd never let you down, I'd never let you down
