Friends (1994)

(album: The Big Happy - 2021)

This is of the utmost importance, um
It is in regards to the track that you were working on
I'm afraid it's... sick

I'd pick up Chinese food and cigarettes on the way home
We'd watch Friends at my parents'
Now you live with someone else in places I know
She has sugar gliders or ferrets
We should've gone out to Brooklyn when we had the chance
Live our lives in bliss
I thought that one day we'd be moving out and getting hitched
Now I have to call you his missus
And I killed us, and I'll kill him

But all my friends, they've seen it too
It's not unique, it's me and you
I don't wanna be friends, I wanna be something more
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You've got a bad attitude, you know
No, I don't think you do
You've got a thing for seeing me alone
That's just the thing you do
Now I'm loving my time with bottles of wine
And I've been thinking 'bout it but promise I won't cry
I done changed a lot and these days I don't lie
And you're... now and I understand why

Just fill in the blank you'll see what I think of you
I'll probably just end up thanking you
You're giving everything I gave to you and I hate it too
Yeah, I'd hate me too

But all my friends, they've seen it too
It's not unique, it's me and you
I don't wanna be friends, I wanna be something more
Yeah, yeah, yeah
All my friends, they've seen it too
It's not unique, it's me and you
I don't wanna be friends, I wanna be something more
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Your tongue was razor-sharp, my mind was half of my heart
I probably told you something stupid like "I loved you"
That night in Echo Park, till 5 AM just talking
(Were we just talking?)

I was just a tree falling down in Korea Town
Did you ever hear me?
A kid with his guitar sitting sober at the bar
You won't text me back, you're too busy
You're too busy for me

Yeah, all my friends, they've seen it too
It's not unique, it's me and you
I don't wanna be friends, I wanna be something more
