"Tempted" - Squeeze
This song has been following me everywhere. At the mall going up the escalator, at a clothing store in the dressing room, at a coffeehouse, and now tonight at a restaurant enjoying my passionfruit iced tea. So, song I finally got the hint. You're up.
This reminds me of Winona Ryder and Janeane Garofulo in Reality Bites. The scene where they're cruising in her dad's BMW right before Ben Stiller smashes into them.
Ah, this movie is a true gem to me. Winona takes us on a trip full of coffee, cigarettes, GAP clothes, and Big Gulps. 
A journey of questions and trying to find the answers using a psychic friend's hotline and a single gas card. It's all about finding yourself even though you don't even know who the hell "you" really are.
You think you did the right thing by putting so much effort into getting a good education only to be completely lost in the real world. Regardless if you go to school or not, you still need a sense of purpose and you still need a job. I totally get it. I've been stuck in it for the last 10 years. I got the job down, but I'm not quite sure where the purpose is yet. I once had a plan and it failed. I'm working on another, but considering the circumstances I need to get my bearings straight. But I'll get there, eventually.
Lyrics:
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place
Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep calling
And calling
But forget it all I know I will
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
I'm at the car park, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion. It's no story I can tell."
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by
The seduction
I wish that it would stop
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection,
"Tell me what is there to do?"
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
