I have a friend who
Who loves his family
I have a friend who
Who wonders if he will live to be 101
I have a friend who
Who fears disasters
I have a friend who
Who would like to be famous
I have a friend who
Who dreams peacefully
Get your elbow off my lawn, it's just polite to take it off
I know a girl who
I got some friends too
I know a guy who
Who's got some friends too
Hey, I don’t know you.
Hey, I don’t know you.

Cool late morning blues
Pacific Northwestern air in the fall
Always makes my lungs feel cold
Trees frozen in silhouette outside
It may be beautiful but I don’t like it
I just don’t
instant Vietnamese coffee
Haunts the living room air
Someone left the front door open
Since god knows when
Felt sad and a little bit scared
Maybe it’s funny but you won’t find me laughing
You just won’t
Not these days
You just won’t
The school bus comes when no one is around
And I don’t care enough to lock the door behind me
I picture you standing on porch sometimes
Through the screen door
I think of a life not lived today
I think of someone far away
It may be shameful it may be cowardly
But I’m staying here right where you left me

When You're Back in Town

When you’re back in town
I will have the same clothes
That I wore in high school halls
On your bed,
nothing more, Nothing less
Just imagine me as that, for when you come back around
I would never go back
To the times we’ve passed
But I remember one night
On your bed,
nothing more, Nothing less
These people don’t exist now
And won’t when you’re back in town
And the small talk makes me much sadder
Like we wasn’t close at all
seems like someone has been switching up our wires
I miss it when your hair was long
You are much tougher than I have been
When you came back in town
When you’re back in town
We’ll share a short clean song
In your small dark room
What’s new with you
Nothing much, nothing much
have you been writing some material, for when you’re back in town
And the small talk makes me sadder
Like we wasn’t close at all
And it seems like someones tampered with the evidence
And I miss it when your hair was long
It’s selfish I know
hoping that your hair is long
When you come back around
You are much tougher than I have been
When you come back in town
