Although they are legally separated, CHARLES has been surreptitiously coming in to HOPE's apartment when she's gone and watering the plants. He wants to be in their room, though he knows it's probably a bad idea...and he finds himself irresistibly drawn back, time after time.

Lyrics
CHARLES
Oh look, she got a brand new dress
A couple bags full of brand new clothes
Well you gotta look good, I guess
Brand new life'll keep you on your toes
I wonder if she's happy
I wonder if she's sad
I wonder if she's seeing someone new
I didn't come to look for clues
But this is more than she used to buy
Fancy dresses and fancy shoes
Fancy shoes to meet a fancy guy
I wonder if she's happy
I wonder if she's sad
I wonder if she's seeing someone new
What is my goddamn problem
Why can't I stay away
The criminal returns to the scene of the crime
Day after day
It's stupid, I know
This motive, this drive
Hoping to find
The flame still alive
I'm the arsonist watching the fire
Drawn to the flash point
To the object of my desire.
I gotta get away somehow
Stay out of trouble and clear my head
I know she'll never want to see me now
After all the awful things I said
I won't know if she's happy
I won't know if she's sad
I shouldn't care she's seeing someone new
What is my goddamn problem
Why can't I stay away
The criminal returns to the scene of the crime
Day after day
It's stupid, I know
This motive, this drive
Hoping to find
The flame still alive
I'm the arsonist watching the fire
Drawn to the flash point
To the object of my desire.
Oh look, she got a brand new dress
A couple bags full of brand new clothes
Well you gotta look good, I guess
Brand new life'll keep you on your toes
I wonder if she's happy
I wonder if she's sad
I wonder if she's seeing someone new
I didn't come to look for clues
But this is more than she used to buy
Fancy dresses and fancy shoes
Fancy shoes to meet a fancy guy
I wonder if she's happy
I wonder if she's sad
I wonder if she's seeing someone new
What is my goddamn problem
Why can't I stay away
The criminal returns to the scene of the crime
Day after day
It's stupid, I know
This motive, this drive
Hoping to find
The flame still alive
I'm the arsonist watching the fire
Drawn to the flash point
To the object of my desire.
I gotta get away somehow
Stay out of trouble and clear my head
I know she'll never want to see me now
After all the awful things I said
I won't know if she's happy
I won't know if she's sad
I shouldn't care she's seeing someone new
What is my goddamn problem
Why can't I stay away
The criminal returns to the scene of the crime
Day after day
It's stupid, I know
This motive, this drive
Hoping to find
The flame still alive
I'm the arsonist watching the fire
Drawn to the flash point
To the object of my desire.
