You know I’ll always have a soft spot for you
My mind cannot undo the year that I adored you
I know you said don’t ever be a stranger again
But I won’t offend if I need a couple months on the mend
Cuz I took some time, I’m almost sure
My intentions here are pure
I took some space, now that heartbreak
Is just the slightest little ache
And I think I’m almost ready to be friends
And I think that one of these days
We’ll make music again
I think I’m almost ready to be friends
So if you see me at a local show of a band that we both know
Don’t be surprised if I walk by and say hello, hello
Cuz I took some time, I’m almost sure
My intentions here are pure
I took some space, now that heartbreak
Is just the slightest little ache
And I think I’m almost ready to be friends
And I think that one of these days
We’ll make music again
I think I’m almost ready to be friends
I think I’ll call you when you’re back from Texas
Now that the ball is sitting in my court
I mean half of my best friends are practically exes
Not like I’ve never done this before
And I think I’m almost ready to be friends
And I think that one of these days
We’ll make music again
I think I’m almost ready to be friends

Kiss You

We were in the sixth grade, it was English class
Where I would bravely risk detention if I could only make you laugh
I thought what is it about you? I don’t know
Makes me wanna run out into the snow
Tell everybody I’m invited to your birthday party
‘cause all the boys wanted to kiss you
All the boys and me too
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, mmm
So I saved every note you passed me
I did everything you asked me
Felt the whole world stop the time you touched me on the shoulder
I thought I don’t know just what it means
The way she dances ‘round my dreams
Well, maybe we could live together someday when we’re older
‘cause all the boys wanted to kiss you
All the boys and me too
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, mmm
I was crying in a bathroom stall the day I realized
The reason why your smile was engraved upon my mind
I was praying Jesus, love is hard enough
Why’d you have to tack on this extra stuff?
Won’t you tell me it gets easier from here?
‘cause all the boys wanted to kiss you
I knew I’d never get to
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, mmm
‘cause all the boys wanted to kiss you
All the boys and me too
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, mmm

Hey old acquaintance, so nice to bump into you on this loud and crowded city street
Some ten odd years and thirty pounds later I’m surprised you even recognized me
Well it’s so great to hear about your promotion and your wedding in the spring
Good goddamn, you could pay a whole year of my rent with that engagement ring
I’m glad you like my quarter life crisis haircut
You know I always wanted bangs
I’m sorry but I’ve got to run, I’m kind of in a rush
Maybe sometime we could hang
And we’re never gonna hang
We’re never gonna get together
Never gonna hang
We’re never gonna hang out
No I haven’t really been playing shows lately, if I’m answering you honestly
My anxiety kind of messed me up creatively - I’ve been chillin’ in obscurity
And anyway I don’t think that you’d even come if I had a show to play
You just want to know if I’m living up to all the dreams that I had back in the day
Well anyway, I’m glad you like my quarter life crisis haircut
You know I always wanted bangs
I’m sorry but I’ve got to run, I’m kind of in a rush
Maybe sometime we could hang
And we’re never gonna hang
We’re never gonna get together
Never gonna hang
We’re never gonna hang out
“So happy to see that you’re doing so well” you say with a condescending grin
I don’t have the guts to just say “go to hell” so I smile and keep it all in
I never really liked you all that much in high school, you were always kind of vain and mean
Well now go ahead and tell all of our mutual acquaintances that I peaked at age nineteen
I don’t care
I’m glad you like my quarter life crisis haircut
I think I’m pulling off the bangs
I’m sorry but I’ve got to run, I gotta get my lunch
Maybe sometime we could hang
And we’re never gonna hang
We’re never gonna get together
Never gonna hang
We’re never gonna hang out
We’re never gonna get coffee
We’re never gonna get a drink
Why do we have to be so awfully polite instead of saying what we think?

Sarah

On the platform for the train
we waited and it never came
So we stumbled out into the rain
Sarah, Sarah
Dancing in the empty street
Hey, cabs are few and far between
Why don’t you just come home with me?
Sarah, Sarah
Ooo, you’re not in this as deep as me, are you?
Oh my God, this isn’t gonna end well
This isn’t gonna end well
I can already tell
I want you with all my might
This is just your Friday night
Maybe we should slow it down
It just feels so good right now
And then you say hey that was fun
but morning time I gotta run
You just call me any time you want
Sarah, Sarah
Now I see you everywhere
Your freckled arms, your tangled hair
Your back as you led me up the stairs
Sarah, Sarah
Ooo, you’re not in this as deep as me, are you?
Oh my God, this isn’t gonna end well
This isn’t gonna end well
I can already tell
I want you with all my might
This is just your Friday night
Maybe we should slow it down
It just feels so good right now
On the platform Sarah Jane
I waited and you never came
So I’m walking home now in the rain
Ooo (x9)
