Best Friend

I am the best friend I've had
want you to know that's not bad
I like it, I like it
It's a life-long commitment
We've been through things that were quite sad
that's just the way that life did that
I don't love it, but I like it
not exciting but it happened
I'm just like you
and your best friend too
I hope we meet again
I hope we meet again
I'm so sorry
I haven't written the chorus yet
I don't know what I'm going to say
to you
Too much on my mind,
I can't think about this
and in time I
seem to find that I doubt this
life of wake and work is right for me...
Is anyone happy?
Is anyone happy?
I'm so sorry
I am the worst friend you've had
I try a lot but it's still bad
and I'm still trying
I guess those can be the words
Maybe that's what I'm going to say
to you

Say Hello

Sometimes
when I'm thinking of all the places I've never been
I forget
that I don't really know what it would be like
to be there
but I always see colors
lots of colors
I imagine colors
and lots of others
so many others
but I'm always too shy
To say hello
Just say hello
I wanna say hello
Just say hello
sometimes,
when I remember all the places I have been
I forget
That it wasn't all just time wasted
because I saw colors
I saw colors
always memorizing colors
and although there were others
so many others...
that's why I regret
to say hello
just say hello
I wanna say hello
just say hello
just say hello!

You're Almost 40

Morning calls to me
I can not believe
you feel this way
and don't want to acknowledge
I am just a bug
living on a plant
in your living room, my love
do you even know that?
Windows need a wash
I am not the boss
I am just here seeing things
that need to be cleaned
you are just a boy
I don't understand
jacking off to holograms
instead of letting love in
You like younger girls
cause they think you're cool
don't you think that's kind of sad?
you're almost 40
I remember when
I was just a kid
hanging with my baby-sister
oh, I miss her
don't you have a love in your life?
don't you think of them?
Don't you think that you should try to be better
Don't you think that you should try to be better
Try to be
Try to be
Try to be
Try to be
Try

Introduced me
to your best friend
when you took me on a hike
last weekend
through the woods and
through the cliffs then
you kissed me like it wasn't
pretend
as the smoke tried to take me out
I wondered what you were all about
looking back I am aware now
summer isn't safe in the woods
in California
still I breathe in
for the weekend
when I'm so afraid
of being strange
and I want you
every weekend
I'm not being brave,
I just want you to stay
And at the river
you let me see you there
you took your clothes off
and told me to stare
I saw the sun it
was dancing in your eyes
and if my heart were a bird
it would've forgotten to fly
and I don't know how long
I'll get to stay here
but I'm praying for forever
if you also want me near
I don't know how long
you'll think of me
but I hope that it is often (hopefully)
and I'll breathe in
for the weekend
when I'm so afraid
of being strange
and I want you
every weekend
I'm not being brave,
I want you to stay
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm not being brave
I just want you to stay
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm not being brave
I just wanna say your name

Hey that's untrue!
You are cool as fuck
don't need no man to save you
if any man could have such luck
this February you can take a breath
you got me forever liking all of your fit checks
and I got DVDs (Come Over)
and girl scout cookie sleeves (Come Over)
and if you need silly (Come Over)
you can count on me (Come Over)
and I know you'll be fine (Come Over)
let's go get cheap wine (Come Over)
we'll have a great time,
and I'll be your Valentine
Hey now, don't lie!
you are so much fun
kiss those dark thoughts goodbye
and declare that vibe is done
Your not seeing clear
I'll be your eyes to see
you are a great friend
you're no burden to me
and I got DVDs (Come Over)
and girl scout cookie sleeves (Come Over)
and if you need silly (Come Over)
you can count on me (Come Over)
and I know you'll be fine (Come Over)
let's go get cheap wine (Come Over)
we'll have a fun time,
and I'll be your Valentine
[besides this is kind of what I feel like it should be about anyway,
like just celebrating the people you love not just buying stuff- like what, love is capitalism?]
Who's idea was this?
I bet he was rich
Who's idea was this?
I bet he was rich
Who's idea was this
I bet he was rich
Who's idea was this
I bet he was-
and I got DVDs (Come Over)
and girl scout cookie sleeves (Come Over)
and if you need silly (Come Over)
you can count on me (Come Over)
and I know you'll be fine (Come Over)
let's go get cheap wine (Come Over)
we'll have a great time,
and I'll be your Valentine
