Friends And Parents Songtext
I hadn't seen you in so long I didn't know you changed the color of your hair

And I knew it had to happen someday but there's no way I could really be prepared

There was music there were lights

Across the street a laundromat had stayed open all night

And a thousand angry angels took to the air


We stood there talking so detached and not to glance up [and remember] each other's eyes

And all the songs sounded the same and they gave names to every different kind of lie

It was the standard dishonesty

Secrets we decided we should keep

And things we wouldn't admit to save our lives



I said there's nothing else at all because you had the gall to ask me how I felt

And you laughed like you were drunk but not on wine but someone drunk on someone else

And in you I saw the past, concerned with nothing but holding hands and lying in the grass
And I could tell in me you only could see yourself



And now your friends and your parents

They'll see you and they'll ask you how I've been

They're just making conversation

But you know you won't be seeing me again

So you smile and pretend not to hear them



Ahhhhhhhhhh
