New Old Friends
She's sorry that she missed the partyShe guesses that she didn't see the pointStay out and get drunk and wake up in a funkShe could meet someone if she triedBut new old friends take timeShe knows you want to help her for sureAnd she knows she's not trying your curesShe could choke 'em on down but lets be serious nowShe could meet someone if she triedBut new old friends take timeIt really hits her when the goodbyes happenThis life of loss, fights and funerals tooThe new people we meet and the new babiesJust don't affect us the way those things doShe says maybe it's just that humans aren'tEquipped to feel improvementsBut maybe its just things happen fast and new old friends take time.She's sorry that she missed the feastAnd didn't hit your record releaseShe says they're all beasts and the forest repeatsBut she could meet someone if she triedBut new old friends take timeSongtexteShe says she's not stingy with the waterShe says she's not stingy with the seedsShe says she watches 'em grow and then she watches 'em goShe could meet someone if she triedBut new old friends take timeIt really hits her when the goodbyes happenThis life of loss, fights and funerals tooThe new people we meet and the new babiesJust don't affect us the way those things doShe says maybe it's just that humans aren'tEquipped to feel improvementsBut maybe its just things happen fast and new old friends take time.
