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 03:26
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 04:25
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)
